Phnom Penh - 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?
Lots of options and affordable. Some provide before and aftercare but most people have nannies and babysitters since it's so affordable. - May 2024
Yes, many preschools available here. The price varies with the same scale as the quality. We sent both of our kids to a Japanese preschool and had the best experience with them. They are a bit more expensive than others on the market, but the level of care and instruction was so much higher than the others and therefore worth it. Pre-COVID, most schools do provide before and after-school care. - Jul 2021
Many. Also many after school activities in schools and elsewhere. - Nov 2020
Nannies are cheap, and several preschools exist. I haven't used them. - May 2017
Yes, but my experience is limited. - Oct 2016
See above answer but if I had young kids I wouldn't bring them to Cambodia because there are too many observed and reported crimes involving children as victims (think pedophiles, seriously). - May 2015
No expat preschools available for kids under 18 months, probably because most foreigners have a nanny. After 18 months, there are a number of options. A full-time nanny is relatively cheap, but price varies depending on language skills, experience, and, frankly, what you want to pay. See below for more on that. - Jan 2012
Nannies very popular and affordable. Hard to train, knowledge of English very limited - Aug 2011
iCan is excellent. Private nannies are easily available and very reasonably priced. - Feb 2008
