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?
Yes, but not that many. The French school is an option. Lincoln is very expensive for preschool (about $10,000). The French school is much cheaper. Since nannies are so affordable here, many don't send their kids to preschool/daycare. - Aug 2022
There are preschools and they are decent. The Montessori school is good. There are a ton of kids here and there's a play group (or several) for every age. Lot's of opportunities for social interaction. - Aug 2019
Yes, many. My son goes to Bina's Keti Keti Bari, a nice English-language medium 'Montessori' school. But there are other options too numerous to name here, especially if you want to go 'local.' - May 2014

Addison Academy seems a decent preschool, much less expensive than Lincoln, but you get what you pay for. - Sep 2010
The playgroup there is fantastic!I have made many lasting friendships from meeting weekly at each other's home. There is a warm, welcoming feel in the expat community. - Jan 2010
