Care Services

 

Child Care

Child Care Centres (CCCs) generally provide half day and full day care programmes for toddlers from 18 months to children below 7 years of age. Infant Care services for younger babies may also be available for some of these centres.

Besides providing working parents with reliable care services, these centres also aim to provide an enriching and up-to-date preschool curriculum in a conducive environment.

The Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) licenses CCCs which meet acceptable standards under the Child Care Centres Act and Regulation.

If your child is a Singapore Citizen or a Permanent Resident (PR) infant or child below 7 years of age attending a licenced CCC, you are eligible for a monthly childcare subsidy of up to $150. Visit the MCYS website to find out more details, or to search through a comprehensive directory of child care services available in Singapore.
