Le Petit Prince is a preschool on Koh Phangan's north coast near Chaloklum. It is the only early-years option our research places on the north side of the island, which makes it structurally important to families living there regardless of anything else — the alternative is a daily cross-island run. We could not verify a website of its own during this run, so the description here is deliberately thin.
What licence this setting holds
Not verified. Ask which licence it holds and for what age band and headcount.
The details families ask about
| Curriculum | Presented as a structured, age-grouped preschool emphasising emotional security, clear routines and respectful interaction. Reported, not verified from a primary source. |
|---|---|
| Ages | Preschool — confirm directly |
| Where it stops | Not published on a site we could verify |
| Leaving qualification | None — an early-years setting. |
| Boarding | Day setting. |
| Short stays & mid-year joining | Not published on a site we could verify. |
| Who it suits | Families based on the quieter north coast around Chaloklum, for whom the Ban Tai and Thong Sala settings are a long daily drive across the island's steep interior. |
We do not publish per-setting tuition figures. They change every year and the directories disagree with each other and with the schools — ask the setting for its current schedule.
What we could not confirm, and what disagrees
Where a setting's own sources contradict each other, we report both rather than choosing the tidier answer. Where we could not verify something, we say so instead of leaving a confident gap.
- No own website found and the least-documented setting on this page. We name it because it plainly exists and because north-coast families have no closer option, not because we can tell you much about it.
- Our earlier guide described it as following a 'Preschool 2100 programme'. We could not source that from the setting, so it has been removed rather than repeated.
Areas families use for this setting
Koh Phangan has no public transit and its interior roads are steeper and slower than Samui's. Drive the run at the actual drop-off time before you sign a lease.
Confirm these before you enrol anywhere on Koh Phangan
- WHICH MINISTRY LICENSED IT, FOR WHAT AGES, AND FOR HOW MANY CHILDREN? This is the Koh Phangan question. A provincial childcare-centre registration from the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security is not a Ministry of Education school licence, and an MoE tutorial/vocational licence is not an MoE international-school licence. Ask to see the licence, and check the age band and the headcount it permits against the number of children actually on site.
- Do the foreign teaching staff hold work permits? Ask directly. The nationwide labour inspections that followed the May 2026 raid were about exactly this.
- Where does this setting stop, and what comes next? The island's settings end at six different points and only one route reaches a school-leaving credential. Know your child's next move before you sign a lease.
- If the answer is the GED® route, confirm in writing that the universities your child is aiming at accept it — and confirm where the external exams are actually sat.
- Can you enrol for a term, or must you commit to a year? Two settings on this island have opposite policies, and this is the single most important question for a DTV or long-stay family.
- If you need the school bus, ask whether a seat is free before you choose where to live. There are twelve, island-wide, and the route will not deviate to your house.
- Ask for the class size AND the ratio, then ask how they combine in your child's actual room.
- If a setting has no website, that is information, not a verdict — but get the address, visit in person, and call a number that answers.
BAANLYY does not rank, endorse or accept payment from schools. We could not find a website of this setting's own. It maintains active official social pages and its existence is not in doubt, but the detail below is deliberately thin — we would rather publish less than publish something we cannot stand behind. Always confirm current admissions, licensing, fees and campus details directly with the setting.
