MOE Kindergartens in Singapore

Everything Singapore parents need to know about MOE Kindergartens: 2026 monthly fees, K1 eligibility by birth year, the 2027 registration timeline, the Partner EYC pathway for children under 5, and a live map of all 60 MKs across 22 planning areas.

Where the MKs are concentrated

Punggol leads with 9 MOE Kindergartens

Top 5 areas by MK count

Punggol and Sengkang together host 16 of Singapore's 60 MOE Kindergartens — 27% of the entire national MK network sits inside the Punggol-Sengkang corridor.

This mirrors HDB's BTO build-out pattern: Punggol was designated a “Waterway Town” in HDB's 2007 Concept Plan and Sengkang grew alongside it, both absorbing the bulk of Singapore's young-family flat purchases through the 2010s and 2020s. SingStat's planning-area population data consistently shows these two towns with the highest share of residents aged 0–14 in Singapore — which is exactly the K1/K2 catchment MOE serves.

By contrast, mature estates with smaller young-family share have just one MK each (Bukit Merah, Clementi, Marine Parade), and the newest BTO town Tengah currently has 1 MK that opened alongside its first primary school — that number will grow as the estate matures.

Registration timeline

K1 Registration — confirmed & projected

The 2027 window is the next one MOE has officially confirmed. The 2028 column is projected by analogy (same day-of-week pattern MOE has used historically) — useful for planning, but MOE will only publish official 2028 dates closer to the time.

Under-5 pathway · Partner EYCs

Is your child under 5? The Partner EYC pathway

Under this partnership, your child will attend an Early Years Centre (EYC) operated by E-Bridge, MFS and PCF when they are 2 months to 4 years old.

This is a separate route from direct MK registration above — designed for families whose children are too young for K1 today.
