Kids Avenue vs
Garden.

Shared early years.
Different runway.

Kids Avenue has no published tuition, registration or service tariff in the current record. Garden publishes latest-published 2025/26 tuition, entry charges, transport and optional boarding. The missing Kids Avenue figure remains missing here.

Kids Avenue publishes no tariff, while Garden’s latest published tariff remains 2025/26 despite its 2026/27 calendar, so there is no current-year price ranking. Compare the exact attendance pattern and request every Kids Avenue line plus Garden’s 2026/27 tuition, entry, transport, boarding and support rows in writing.

Kindergarten specialist.
British and IB runway.

The schools overlap from age two through kindergarten. Kids Avenue is a Thai-English early-years specialist ending at six; Garden continues through Year 13 in an English-medium British and IB setting.

Match the actual attendance offer

Ask both schools to state the child’s proposed class, start date, age cut-off, core hours and following year’s class. Kids Avenue names Toddler, Nursery and Kindergarten stages; Garden publishes Nursery, Foundation, Years 1–6 and Years 7–13. Similar ages do not make the labels or weekly hours identical.

Garden publishes a longer Nursery-to-Year-13 span; ask which year is open, which 2026/27 fee row applies and whether day or boarding provision is required. Ask Kids Avenue to quote the same attendance pattern. Observe the actual room, transitions, meals, rest and outdoor time rather than comparing a part-time endpoint with a full-time place.

Make language exposure visible

Kids Avenue describes Thai-English communication and a blended international and Thai kindergarten curriculum but names no external framework. Request a weekly programme map showing which adult uses each language and how Thai literacy, English phonics, numeracy and inquiry are sequenced.

Garden records English as the medium alongside Thai and additional languages. Ask how EYFS transitions into primary, how pupils prepare for IGCSE and how subject choices lead into the IB Diploma.

At both visits, watch how teachers explain unfamiliar tasks, how children ask for help and what happens when they work at different speeds. Request anonymised current work and the report format parents receive. The useful comparison is classroom practice, not the word “international.”

Build complete first-year totals

Garden’s latest published 2025/26 tuition is ฿147,000 Nursery half-day, ฿268,500 Nursery full-day, up to ฿385,800 in FS1–2, ฿418,500–฿447,300 in primary and ฿495,400–฿609,800 in secondary.

Garden publishes a ฿5,000 application fee, ฿60,000–฿120,000 enrolment and ฿40,000 refundable deposit. Bus is ฿18,000–฿32,100 per term, visa documents ฿15,000 and boarding ฿297,000–฿345,000 a year plus deposit.

Kids Avenue publishes no tuition or extras tariff. Request tuition, application, registration, deposit, meals, materials, uniform, trips, transport, holiday care and extended care in writing. The quote should name the academic year, weekly hours, payment dates, notice requirements and refund conditions.

Create totals for money due before attendance, the complete first school year and a normal recurring year. Mark one-time and refundable sums. The missing Kids Avenue tariff cannot be estimated; Garden’s older tariff requires a written 2026/27 grade quote, entry fees, transport, support and selected services.

Plan both transfer points

Kids Avenue ends at age six. Ask where recent leavers entered primary school, which year groups accepted them, what records were supplied and when applications began. Identify two plausible destinations and check language, curriculum, commute and current fee basis.

Garden publishes an established route through IGCSE and IB Diploma. Ask for subject availability, current cohort evidence and the school’s explanation of any conflicting A-Level wording on its Sixth Form page.

Rehearse an international relocation after two years. Ask each school what transcript, curriculum record and language evidence it would provide, then ask a likely receiving school how placement would be decided. Familiar curriculum words do not guarantee a place or identical year mapping.

Audit support without assumptions

Ask who identifies language, learning, developmental or wellbeing needs, what support occurs inside class, when an outside assessment is requested and which provision carries an extra fee. Neither current ledger entry publishes a usable learning-support tariff.

If support is important to acceptance, request the responsible staff member, frequency, group size, duration, review date and price. Separate English acquisition from other learning needs. A general assurance is not a child-specific plan.

Test the real family week

Kids Avenue is in Surasak, Si Racha; Garden is in Ban Chang, Rayong. Drive both routes at intended arrival and collection times, including work, sibling stops and activities. Record door-to-door time on a normal weekday and repeat the uncertain route during rain.

Confirm transport separately because Kids Avenue publishes no transport tariff while Garden’s latest schedule prices bus at ฿18,000–฿32,100 per term. Ask for pickup windows, likely vehicle time, supervision and cost. Place both school calendars beside family work dates and identify care required outside core hours.

Finish the offer meeting

1. Placement: exact class, hours, language pattern and next class.
2. Learning: programme map, current work and reporting evidence.
3. Cost: acceptance cash, complete first year, recurring year and refund exposure.
4. Support: named provision, staffing, review and price.
5. Transition: Kids Avenue’s age-six primary move or Garden’s later programme and credential audit.

Save the offers, calendars and placement answers together. Write why the selected classroom fits this child now and how the next transition remains workable. Keep every missing charge or support commitment open until the school confirms it in writing.
