Storytime Preschool is a small, long running international nursery and kindergarten just off the lower end of Sukhumvit, caring for children from around age one to six. Its early years teaching follows a play based approach within a British curriculum framework, summed up in the school's own motto that children learn through play, and it appears among the early years options on our Bangkok city hub. For relocating families it works as a first step into international education before a larger primary school.
This is an independent reference page. No school pays to be listed on GlobalSchoolGuide, and the details below were researched from the school and public sources at the time of writing, with anything unconfirmed marked not published.
At a glance
Curriculum and academics
As an early years setting, Storytime concentrates on the foundations that matter most before primary school: language and early literacy, number sense, social skills and confidence, taught through play rather than formal lessons. The approach sits within a British curriculum early years framework, with English as the language of the classroom and exposure to routines that prepare children for a larger international primary.
Because it is a preschool rather than a through school, there are no examinations or senior pathways here. Families typically use Storytime to settle a young child into English medium learning, then move on to a primary that follows the British, IB or American route. Our British curriculum guide explains how the early years feed into that later structure.

Storytime Preschool fees
Storytime sits in the more accessible range on our Bangkok international school fees guide, as early years settings generally cost less than full primary and secondary schools, though hours and programme length affect the total. Treat any single figure as indicative and confirm the current schedule with the school, since preschool fees are often quoted by term or by session rather than as a single annual number.
Budget for the usual early years extras alongside tuition: a registration fee, a deposit, meals and snacks, and items such as uniform or activity materials where they apply. Our fee calculator helps turn quoted figures into a realistic annual total once those line items are added.
Admissions
Preschools admit far more flexibly than primary and secondary schools, so Storytime typically takes children through the year as places come up rather than running a single fixed window. Entry is based on age and a settling in period rather than any formal assessment, and many families start with shorter days before building up to a full week.
The practical first steps are to contact the school directly, arrange a visit so your child can see the classrooms, and discuss the days and hours that suit your family. Confirm the minimum age and any toilet training expectations before enrolling.
Location and who goes there
Storytime sits on Sukhumvit Soi 4 in the Khlong Toei area, a central location close to the lower Sukhumvit hotels and residences and within easy reach of the Nana and Phloen Chit neighbourhoods. For families living in central Bangkok it is an easy daily drop off, and the position near the start of Sukhumvit keeps it accessible from several nearby districts.
The children come from a mix of expatriate and Thai families drawn by the central setting and the gentle introduction to English medium learning. For the wider picture of where international families settle and which primary schools sit nearby for the next step, return to the Bangkok city hub.
