About Daroonrak

The Canteen

Daroonrak Kindergarten was founded by Arpawn Hudson in 1964, (2507) with just two students at a site in Sridonchai Road. At the beginning, teaching was based on the Montessori method but this is no longer the case. The number of students steadily increased and in 1979, (2522) a new campus was opened in Suan Dok Road, this being the present school's site.

Over 4,000 students have attended over the 38 years of the school's existence, and many of the alumni have in turn sent their children to the school. Unlike most kindergartens in central Chiang Mai, the school has a large campus of over 3 rai with large gardens and naturally shaded areas for the students to have fun in.

Daroonrak provides a broad and balanced curriculum based on the Thai national system in an environment where children have a good deal of space to enjoy themselves with their friends.

Mrs. Hudson remains the owner of the school and continues to play an active part in its activities.
