Bridgetown - 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?

They are available, with a wide range of quality. I don’t know of any families actually using the local daycares. We looked at one but immediately left when we realized there was one adult for 30-40 children. St. Nicholas’s is the way to go. Many people bring nannies with them from previous posts. - May 2018

Yes. There are many local options, of varied quality. High quality care is available, including U.S.-trained and certified day care, if you are willing to shop around. Personally, I had a bad experience followed by a good one - you just have to interview the providers and monitor. - Dec 2010


Preschool is fantastic: St. Nicholas is where many Embassy preschoolers go, including ours, and it's amazing. - Feb 2010


Not sure, but looking at this lethargic culture, don’t expect great service from anyone. - Jan 2009
