Hello. My husband may be getting an expatriation to Malaysia in a couple of months. We have two children around 3 years old. He still hasn't received the offer yet but he asked me to research the cost of preschools and general cost of living for a family of four in KL.

Please advise me and I'd really appreciate if you could recommend certain nurseries/preschools in the area of Mutiara Damansara and their monthly fees.

Thank you so much!

Hello Newexpat82 and welcome to Expat.com

While waiting for members to revert back with some help, I invite you to browse through threads in our section Cost of Living in Kuala Lumpur

Some contacts of nurseries/preschools may be found in our business directory : Nursery and kindergarten in Kuala Lumpur

Mutiara Damansara is not an area that a lot of expats live in, so there will be hardly any facilities available in English. You will need to travel to find something, perhaps in TTDI or other closeby townships. If you want education then this may be the answer. http://www.srikdu.edu.my/

COL for a family of 4 would require a salary of about RM8,000 per month.

Hello there. I used to send my two kiddies aged 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 to Children's House which follows the Montessori system. They are very popular and tend to have waiting lists. I think they do have a branch in Mutiara Damansara but you could check on their website. The costs recently jumped from RM5,200 to RM5,800 per term (three terms per year). They offer a sibling discount too. You can drop them off at 8.30am and pick them up at 12.30pm and the school provides them with breakfast and lunch.
