Managua - Post Report Question and Answers

Are preschools available? Day care? Are these expensive? What has been your experience with them, if any? Do the schools provide before- and/or after-school care?

Yes. If you have two parents working you’ll want a combo of nanny support and a preschool. There are several bilingual preschools that kids enjoy. Generally no AC at those schools but the kids acclimate. - Sep 2026


Yes , there are preschools available including Montesorri. I doubt that they would be expensive (unless you go to the American school) as labor is cheap in Nicaragua. - Feb 2024
