It’s a private centre, so it sets its own fees: no ECDA fee cap applies. The centre is GST-registered, so 9% GST is added to the fees.

After subsidies, a Singapore Citizen child of a working mother pays about S$1,083 a month for full-day childcare in a household earning S$3,000 or less (S$3,500 from 2027), and about S$1,550 a month above S$12,000 (S$15,000), with only the Basic Subsidy. How the subsidies work.
