Surabaya - 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?

Some limited options, which are adequate. - Nov 2018


yes. At moderate cost. It depends on what standards you want. A Montessori school just opened across the street, but I am not sure what they mean by Montessori here. - Oct 2015

Several English pre-schools exist. Gymboree was popular and charged $180 per month (1 hour, 3X a week). - Oct 2012


There is a great preschool right at SIS that has also received rave reviews and is very affordable. - May 2012


No personal experience, but the International School has a preschool that is quite pricy. Nannies can be hired for a song. - Aug 2009
