Turning three marks a major milestone in your child’s learning journey – the moment when they begin to explore the world beyond home with growing independence. It’s also a crucial time for parents to choose an international preschool that will lay a strong foundation for holistic development.
So, what key criteria should parents consider when selecting the right school?

6 Questions Every Parent Should Ask Before Choosing a Preschool:

1. Does the school offer full English immersion or bilingual education?
Being immersed in English from an early age helps children develop natural language reflexes and a solid bilingual foundation.

2. Are the teachers certified internationally with early childhood experience?
Qualified teachers – especially native English speakers – bring authentic international learning experiences to the classroom.

3. Does the curriculum support cognitive, emotional, and physical growth?
An ideal international preschool nurtures not just academic skills, but also emotional intelligence and life skills.

4. Are the facilities safe, modern, and child-friendly?
The physical learning environment directly impacts a child’s emotional wellbeing and daily curiosity.

5. Is there a clear system for health, nutrition, and child safety?
Look for schools with on-site healthcare staff, well-planned nutrition, and secure drop-off/pick-up procedures.

6. Is the school transparent and supportive in its communication with parents?
Strong school–parent partnerships are essential for a child’s long-term success and wellbeing.
