Xang Noi kindergarten, or awakening center, is a preschool that has been opened since 1997. The school is designed for children ranging from those who are able to walk to age 3 and a half.

The kindergarten, located at the end of a quiet lane next to the Montessori School (you won’t find any signs to guide you), is quite possibly one of the best kindergartens in town. The first language spoken there is French with Lao and English following in that order. 

The school is a great way to keep your child from watching hours of TV a day. At Xang Noi your child will learn their colors, the numbers and how to follow directions. Just as important though your child will learn to sing, painting, coloring, pasting, tearing and using scissors to cut paper, etc. Your child will also learn to share, to play with others, to develop his brain and his body through playing.

Contact with parents is important and daily reports on your child’s development can be expected from the team of teachers.

Currently, Xang Noi has children from Laos, France, Japan, America, Nepal, Belgium, Spain, Canada, Thailand, Greek, Australia, and Switzerland.

The number of children at Xang Noi is limited to 35, so it is essential enroll your child as early as possible. Xang Noi already has a long waiting list for next September.
