I cannot express how thrilled we are with Shining Stars! From the moment we enrolled our children who are 2,5 and 5,5 years old, we felt welcomed and supported.

The teachers are incredibly nurturing and dedicated, creating a warm and engaging environment that encourages learning and exploration.

The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, incorporating a variety of activities that promote creativity, social skills, and early literacy in a fun and interactive way. Our children have blossomed in such a short time.

The communication from staff is exceptional; we receive regular updates on our children's progress and daily activities, which keeps us involved and informed.

We are grateful for the positive experiences and memories our children is creating here. I highly recommend Shining Stars to any parent looking for a nurturing and enriching environment for their little ones!

Totally disaster place extremely dirty non hygienic, I send my son there and after 5 weeks I have to cancel the enrolment . My son was bruised on so often and because we live next door neighbour we start to observe him on the play ground from balcony and I was so frustrated to see how they mix children from all ages in the play ground and children age 4 and 5 and 6 they push and are extremely roughs with children 2 years old. The play ground it’s so small and very dangerous to claim on as one girl broke her leg 2 years ago, my last day there when I pick up my son and seing him eating brown watermelon which I took it away from his hand and left very upset , later in the evening my son was poisoned from BROWN watermelon and his temperature was 39.6 😔 we send him to Bangkok hospital and for two days in hospital we paid 9700 baht. Honestly this place it’s totally nightmare beware from Menager Cara Nicole she is so ruthless unprofessional she is like talking to Cobra very scary for children. It’s so expensive for this unprofessional service, I advice Boat Avenue not far off from Kamala cheaper and totally professional

Shining Stars was the highlight of our 8 months living in Thailand. My son was welcomed with open arms by Cara, Delphine, Anna and the whole team at the school, and they nurtured him in such a way he gained immense confidence and absolutely thrived in all areas of his learning. Shining stars takes such a holistic, caring and hands on approach with every child and truly recognises that every child is unique. The sense of community the school has and the exceptional way it is run by Cara and her team is really what makes this school so special. Thank you Shining Stars, we will never forget you!

Cool kindergarten! The child walked for a year while we lived in Thailand with great pleasure. Cara is very positive and open. My daughter was delighted with her. There are many extra-curricular activities that broaden children's horizons - hiking in the jungle, swimming in a waterfall or in the sea, visiting stables and fruit plantations and much more. The child spoke in English, freely expressing his thoughts. My daughter enjoyed going to kindergarten every day, and when we left, when asked “what did you like most about Thailand,” she answered - Shining stars kindergarten)

Amazing kindergarten! We spent some months here and our daughter Mila enjoyed it so much. The teachers are so caring and kind, and take so well care of the kids. We will definitely come back when we can 😊

What I can say... Since a year my son (7yo) still remembers as a best school in the world. We were visiting the school for approximately 4-5 months and from my personal experience it is a heaven for kids: upbringer Cara who cares about children as much as for her own kids, periodic adventures to the sea, around Kamala, celebrations with a lot of pizzas, icecreams, water battles. Meditation/drawing/elementary school lessons for kids. And as per my own kid who didn't speak English at all, Cara (native speaker) taught him so that my kid still can remember a lot of words and speak at a base level with others in English!

My daughter absolutely loved Shining Stars 💫🤩, it has such a wonderful family feel and the staff are amazing. Cara is literally our favourite person in the world! Although my daughter is now older and attends ‘proper school’ she still talks about her time at Shining Stars 💫🤩 and she is still good friends with all, the kids she met there. I would really recommend it.

Both of our children attended Shining Stars and, due to the care and dedication of the teachers there, progressed academically, psychologically and socially.

We absolutely loved our months at Shining Star School. Delphine, Anna, Cara and the rest of the team have so much knowledge and kindness. Also the school is run so professionally and in a great way. They see every child’s need and are great at communicating with the parents as well. The way they help our children develop is just amazing. Our son learned so much whilst having a great time as well. We feel so blessed to have found Shining Star and we especially loved that there where children from many places of the world and also Thai which gave us a wonderful opportunity to meet so many amazing children and parents as well. I cannot recommend this school enough and will always cherish our great memories from there. Thank you ❤️

Wonderful kindergarten with a great approach. Our son has been going for 1.5 years and we are very happy. All teachers are friendly, speak English. The program is aimed at developing the creative potential of each child, the ability to be in society, to build harmonious relationships: with themselves, with others, with the world.
The kindergarten is small, there are 2 groups divided by age and with different program.
There are children of all nationalities in the school.
The school has a vegetarian menu, but if necessary, you can give your child a lunch box with any food.
There is a room where children sleep during the day. If needed.
Occupancy is from 9am to 3pm.
The price is lower than other European pre-schools.

The best thing, that happened to our family in Thailand! Those months now are the base of happiest memories for our son and his little brother, who just pick him up after classes. The wormiest atmosphere, the kindest people, the happiest time for childhood! My son always remembers this place and dreaming to come back one day! ❤️❤️❤️

I cannot say enough amazing things about Cara and her team at Shining Stars.

When we arrived in Phuket from the UK our daughter was just 2yrs old and was finding it hard to adjust, she had a lot of issues integrating with other children.
Through kindness, compassion, patience, hard work and love they helped build her confidence and she is now so happy and joyful.

It is plain to see how happy the children are at shining stars... they have the right balance between healthy containment and freedom to be themselves.

Well done Shining stars. We will never forget those happy smiles waiting at the gate🙏
