Actual fees may vary by programme and age band. Always confirm current rates directly with the centre. Net cost after subsidy depends on household income and working status — use the subsidy calculator to estimate your actual monthly fee.

Q3Are there subsidised (government-supported) preschools in Bukit Merah?

Q4How can I lower my preschool fees?

Singapore Citizen families at ECDA-licensed childcare centres (AOP/POP) automatically receive the ECDA Basic Subsidy.

If at least one parent works ≥56 hours/month, the Additional Childcare Subsidy reduces fees further — the amount is income-tested.

MOE Kindergartens (K1–K2 half-day) offer KiFAS — a means-tested subsidy bringing fees below S$160/month for lower-income families.
