Choosing a kindergarten: points to ponder

These points are all specific to schooling in Moscow, but there is plenty of general information for choosing schools for all ages anywhere, especially kindergartens and day schools.

Choosing schools (even day schools): points to ponder

This article was written for our Moscow section, from a British parent's point of view. But we think most of the points she makes are universal when checking out schools for small children.

• Playschools in Moscow

  We don't necessarily visit playschools, nurseries or kindergartens and definitely don't look at them as thoroughly as we do primary and secondary schools. We only include them as a section of a full GSGI write-up if they are part of a primary or K-12 school.
