Johannesburg - 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?

Preschools are everywhere and are generally inexpensive. We looked at several options including several Montessoris, but finally sent our toddler to an Opti-Baby near our house for about $6000 a month. Essentially it's day care with a bit of an academic structure. Child care is cheap and generally good. - Jun 2022
