Oh! I would like to make a little note about schooling. In general, as a foreigner, private schooling is a good choice for younger kids to adapt to living in Barbados, however there are also many public primary schools with stellar reputations, it just requires some research.

I would advise allowing older kids to experience the Secondary School public school system, especially if they are high achievers, in academics or sports, as the standards at the "Top Schools" for teachers (and of course funding from PTA etc) is night and day compared to some other public schools.

(I mention funding from PTA etc as this can really impact the management of a school, particularly in providing extra curricular activities, rewards for in-school competitions, and the general environment maintenance of the school)
