Vladivostok - 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?
My kids enjoyed their school, but the facilities are atrocious compared to the US. Their school costs around $500 a month. You can hire a full-time nanny for around $800 - $1000 a month, it's hard to find someone reliable and trustworthy. Also, pre-schools never accept kids who are not potty trained. Russian women can take three years maternity leave, so there's not much demand for pre-schools for small kids. - Apr 2012
I hear there are plenty of nannies available, but they are a bit pricey and likely do not speak English. - Jun 2009
