Hello! I'm moving from Colorado to Kunming in August with my 5 year old daughter. She is only a quarter Chinese, and only knows a few words as of now in Mandarin. Are there any Kindergarten that are for foreigners in the Kunming area? Any detailed information would be much appreciated and most helpful!! Thank you!

Kunming has many kindergartens. Most if not all are open to foreigners (you pay for kindergarten).

If you know where you will be living then we can tell you what kindergartens are in that area.

Rise school offers the American school system from K-4 found at

900 Beijing Lu 15th floor

@jillynnicole I have a friend who is a teacher in Kunming First Decision International school. They have an international kindergarten around the cross of Broad Blessing road and Erji Road. But it is a bit far away from Kunming city center.

Do you have a weblink for Rise? I'd search for it on gokm, but still can't find the search button (lazy).

I excerpted some of their information here, hope it could give you help
