Dear Bajan Mom family,
I need your help again! One of our readers, a foreign national who is still familiarising herself with Barbados, would like recommendations for a good nursery, preferably in St. James but is quite flexible. Please read the summary of the emails that we sent back and forth and send your suggestions in the comment section or through the contact form.
You have been so generous with your knowledge in the past, and we thank you for what you will do for us today.
Have a marvelous Monday!
Best wishes,
Bajan Mom
Dear Bajan Mom,
Thank you so much for all your help. You are great! I have another question to ask, could you recommend a daycare centre in Holetown?
You asked me these questions:
Could you be a little more specific? Are you looking for family-based? Is there a particular price range that interests you? Does the Day Care need to have an outdoor play area? Do you prefer a small facility where the ages tend to be mixed or a larger programme where the age groups are a little more segregated? Ideally, will this just be a place for your little one to start or do you want a place where your child can learn and grow until going to school? Is the Holetown location set in stone or could you be more flexible?
So the most important wish is, that the people there are lovely and of course not violent with the kids. My daughter will be only 9 months old, so must be possible for toddlers.
Great would be a flexibility in hours per week. I plan to put her only a few hours (4-5) per weeks in the first months and later more. A contract that can be canceled monthly would be perfect. I like Montessori, but it’s not a must. And Holetown (walking distance) would be good, but not a must too.
Also, no TV. Do you think there are daycare places without any TV?
Thanks again.
