If you want to send your child to a daycare centre or pre-nursery there are a lot of choices from local church-run centers to International schools and from regular to Montesori. All of these need to be listed with the Ministry of Education of Singapore to guarantee standards.

Which one you want your kid(s) to attend may depend on where you live, whether transport is provided and not unimportantly; what the costs are. Walk around your neighborhood or maybe check with someone from our message boards
