SBSC (School-Based Student Care) operates within primary school premises, coordinated by MOE, heavily subsidised (S\$160-230/month). Standalone centres are ECDA-licensed, located outside school grounds, offer more flexibility on hours and services, but cost more (S\$400-1,800/month). SBSC is typically first choice for eligibility; standalone for those without SBSC access.
SBSC (eligible): S\$160-230/month. Anchor operator standalone gross S\$400-800, net S\$150-400 after subsidy. Standard private centres S\$600-1,200/month. Premium centres with enrichment bundled S\$1,000-1,800/month. Holiday programmes during Dec/June breaks typically +S\$300-800.
Usually no. Real tuition costs S\$200-500/month at decent standards. Student care centres charging S\$500/month and claiming "tuition included" are providing homework supervision — checking that work is completed, not actively teaching. True academic improvement needs dedicated tuition, not bundled homework help.
ECDA recommends 1:25 for Primary 1-3. Quality centres voluntarily maintain 1:15 or 1:20 for homework periods. For actual academic support (doubt-clearing, review), smaller groups (1:10-1:15) work better. Ask specifically about ratios during the 3-6pm homework window, which is where quality matters most.
CCTV plus strict pickup authorisation (named person, PIN/card verification) is the modern standard. Centres without these have had child-pickup incidents. CCTV isn't just safety — it's also accountability for behaviour claims. Strong centres install it; those without often resist for reasons unrelated to cost.
