Frequently Asked Questions

What childcare services does My First Skool provide?

My First Skool, a leading anchor operator, offers comprehensive childcare services for children from infant care to kindergarten.
We provide full-day childcare and full-day infant care services, and structured programmes that promote holistic early childhood development through play, exploration, and discovery.

Our nurturing learning environments are designed to support working parents and their children while maintaining high standards of quality and education.

What is an anchor operator preschool?

An anchor operator preschool is a childcare centre appointed by the government to provide quality, affordable childcare services and early childhood education for Singaporean citizen children.

My First Skool is one of Singapore’s trusted anchor operators. We offer high standards in education, well-equipped facilities, and trained early childhood educators. As an anchor operator, we can also provide higher subsidies to support working parents, especially those from lower-income families, making it easier for families in Singapore to access quality childcare. This allows families to give their children a strong start without compromising quality or care.

How do I know if my family qualifies for childcare subsidies?

If your child is a Singapore citizen and enrolled in a licensed childcare centre, you may be eligible for childcare subsidies provided by the government, including infant care subsidy. All families receive a basic subsidy, and lower-income families may qualify for an additional subsidy based on their gross monthly household income or per capita income.

What is the difference between a basic subsidy and an additional subsidy?

The basic subsidy is available to all Singapore citizen children enrolled in eligible childcare centres. The amount varies depending on the child’s age and the parents’ working hours.

The additional subsidy is targeted at lower-income families and determined by the household’s income tier, such as gross monthly household income or per capita income. These higher subsidies ensure families with greater needs get more support with childcare costs.

Does My First Skool offer other childcare options besides full-day programmes?

Yes. At My First Skool, we understand that every family has different needs. In addition to full-day childcare, we offer half-day services (on a case-by-case basis) for younger and older children for parents with more flexible schedules. These childcare options provide peace of mind and a structured alternative to informal care at home, such as a domestic helper or a nanny service.

How does My First Skool support early childhood education?

Our team of passionate early childhood educators is trained and certified under the Early Childhood Development Agency’s standards.

We follow a child-centric approach to early childhood education, focusing on the holistic growth of every child emotionally, socially, and intellectually. We promote strong social development and school readiness from a young age through thoughtfully designed classes, play, and thematic learning.

What makes My First Skool different from other childcare centres?

As an anchor operator, First Skool provides high-quality, affordable childcare services supported by the government. Our centres are designed with safety, curiosity, and creativity in mind.

We celebrate milestones and learning with early childhood celebrations, foster strong relationships with families, and maintain continuity across infant, pre-school, and kindergarten levels, preparing children for primary or international school settings.

How much should I budget for childcare costs in Singapore?

Childcare costs in Singapore vary depending on the programme type, childcare centre, and your income tier. After applying childcare and preschool subsidies, anchor operators like My First Skool offer affordable and transparent fees in the early childhood sector. Planning for living expenses such as education, food, and transportation can help you manage your overall budget more effectively.

What happens when my child graduates from preschool?

When your child completes kindergarten at My First Skool, expect them to be well-prepared for primary school, both academically and socially.

Our strong emphasis on early childhood education ensures they are confident, curious, and excited about the next stage in their school journey, whether that be a local primary school or an international school. We support parents during this transition, making the move into the new academic year a positive experience for both children and families.
