Shanghai - 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, and expensive if you want expat ones. If you get a full time nanny you won't need much after school care. - Nov 2020
Yes. They are generally expensive. Most are not what would be considered preschools by western standards. Daycare is probably a better term. - Dec 2014
Don't know much about this but I have heard that people with kids can get an "ayi" to help them with childcare very reasonably. - Aug 2011
Most people I know had live-in and/or daily help in their homes. The preschool fad is growing, FAST, among the local population though. - Dec 2010
Yes, great facilities. - Jul 2010
There are several good preschools available, and have had friends with kids in Rainbow Bridge International School, and loved it. There are several other very good options also. Excellent choices also include hiring a local ayi (nanny). We have one who is outstanding with kids. - Feb 2009
