Child care in Macedonia

Hi,

when settling in a new country, working parents are mostly concerned about finding child care services for their children.

What can you share with us about the child care system in Macedonia ?

How much is daycare in Macedonia?

Is the staff qualified at these daycare centers?

What are the usual opening hours?

Do they provide other services at the daycare center?

Any daycare center in Macedonia you would like to recommend to other expats? What makes them special?

Thank you for participating! :)

How much is daycare in Macedonia?

There is a huge variety and wide variety in price.  In terms of good quality private daycare, 300-450 Euros per month gets you one of the very best though I know one or 2 around the 200 Euro mark which are well run, well staffed and have nice facilities.

Is the staff qualified at these daycare centers?

Check each centre but in my experience most private centres have extremely well qualified staff.

What are the usual opening hours?

Varies

Do they provide other services at the daycare center?

Good centres will often provide activites and learning.  In many several cases there is the opportunity to introduce the child to an additional language.

Everyone's child is different and most parents I know all have thier own very specific views concerning what is important to them in their choice of child care.

Thanks again for your help Arioch13!
