Child Care

We want you to be prepared for your arrival so ask your buddy about the various options. Many teachers have young children and there are various options for childcare. There are lots of things to do for children in Jeju - from the beaches and mountains to museums and theme parks. Without extended family and a large population of keen teenagers, childcare can be a challenge. However, people find a way!

Local nurseries

Local nurseries are held in high regard by international families and local staff in terms of quality of care and cost. Generally the age groups catered for are from one year old to six years old. The service is heavily subsidised and monthly charges can include very modest fees for transport, day trips, lunch (often cooked on site) and activities.

Nannies and babysitters

These can be found on various Facebook groups or by word of mouth when you get here. Older staff children often babysit.

There are other parents just like you - and we help each other out! Feel free to contact these parents who, like others, will happily share advice and tips:
