Annabel's Early Years

Annabel's Early Years began in 2002 with just Annabel Hamill-Stewart and an assistant, and the school has grown into one of the most internationally recognised early years providers in Thailand, awarded Platinum status by the UK's National Day Nurseries Association in January 2024, its highest distinction. The original campus, on Ekkamai Soi 10 off Sukhumvit 63, welcomes children from K1 to Year 1, ages 3 to 6, following the British EYFS curriculum enriched with a Reggio Emilia-inspired approach and Forest School principles adapted for a tropical, urban setting. The second campus is dedicated exclusively to Nursery-aged children 1 to 3 years.

The campus is genuinely green for its central location: a large garden with a mud kitchen, tree house, butterfly house, and nature garden, alongside indoor sports space and a library. A tuk-tuk shuttle service connects the school to the BTS and surrounding areas. The community is broadly international, with one of the higher international student ratios among Bangkok's early years schools. A separate Nursery campus close by serves the youngest children from 12 months. Annabel's is a preschool only; plan the primary transition before enrolling. The campus is on Ekkamai Soi 10, Sukhumvit 63 Road, in Klongton Nua, Wattana, within easy reach of Ekkamai BTS.
