Abuja - 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 to pre-schools. Instead of day care, most people hire nannies, who are not expensive. We don't have one, but the ladies I've seen tending to the children on our compounds are sweet and loving nannies. Our school welcomes children from 7:30 am and offers afternoon clubs. I don't think there is after school care as such, but you can always ask. - Sep 2019


No idea. Again sorry. - Feb 2019


I believe most people just use AISA pre-school or Nannies at home. - Apr 2018


There are several day care and pre-K options, ranging from $200-$500 per month. - Apr 2017


Yes. - Jun 2016


Same as above. There seems to be quite a few of them. Can't speak to cost. - Aug 2014


Don't have kids, but there seem to be a lot of happy parents of little kids who love their nannies and preschools. Both are quite affordable. - May 2014


I think most people use nannies, who (I've heard) are relatively less expensive than in many other countries. - May 2013


From what I've seen with the other families, most with small children have a nanny. - Jul 2008
