Likely legitimate

Parents consistently chose to remain enrolled despite inconvenient commutes, indicating strong satisfaction with teaching quality and child development outcomes. Teachers maintained close communication with families on parenting concerns and child progress, while Principal Ms Wen provided patient guidance to first-time parents. The playgroup organized engaging learning activities and maintained a warm, positive environment that kept children enthusiastic about attending school.

My family has been with Apple Tree Playhouse since 2021, starting with my first child — and now, all three of my kids are happily enrolled here. We couldn’t have asked for a better preschool experience. Despite moving further away from the school 2 years ago, we chose to remain with the school even if it meant that the daily commute will be longer and less convenient. The teachers are genuinely caring, nurturing, and incredibly supportive. They take the time to understand each child’s needs and always make the effort to communicate with parents regularly. The warmth and dedication of the staff have created a safe and loving environment that my children look forward to every day. Special mention goes to the principal, Ms Wen, who does an excellent job managing the school. She leads with both professionalism and heart, and it clearly reflects in the positive atmosphere and well-run operations. We also appreciate how well the school handles situations like virus outbreaks — with timely updates, clear communication, and responsible safety measures. It gives us peace of mind knowing our children are in good hands. Another highlight is the many events and activities the school organises to involve parents and even grandparents. Whether it’s celebrations, performances, or special themed days, these events create meaningful opportunities for us to be part of our children’s learning journey and build connections with teachers and fellow parents. Thank you, Apple Tree Playhouse, for giving our children such a strong, joyful start to their early education journey!

Our child has been with AppleTree Playhouse since PG, and it has been a truly positive and enriching experience for our family. The teachers and administrative team have always worked closely with us, supporting our parenting journey while nurturing our child’s growth, abilities, and character.

My son recently graduated from Apple Tree Playhouse and my younger one is still studying there. The past 4 years with them was great and even though they were not the closest to my place, I willingly travelled for 4 years daily with two kids. The Principal Ms Wen is a confident leader and patient with first time parent like me when I had child-related queries. Many of the teachers I’ve met are passionate and responsible, to be fair, this line of work is not easy and good manpower is hard to find or retain. Even though I see some teachers come and go, I understand it is very common as who would not want to see the outside world when young. Tchr Elaine, Ya Jie Lao Shi, Mah Lao Shi, Tchr Geok see, teacher Jo, Lee Lao Shi are so great with the kids. The quality of the new teachers are good too, even if some are young-looking. I have seen and spoken to the founder Ms Dana and she’s so calm and zen and I could see her passion in early childhood when she shared about the history of apple tree. Parents were invited to the school every year end to attend an art exhibition, the works were created throughout the whole year and showcased, I see lots of effort and enjoy every year. The environment is nice, well maintained and clean, the food is tasty as attest to both my kids and also the parents do get to try the food cooked by the in-house chef when there are events. They have their own playground indoor in case of rain and also goes to library very frequently due to the location in north point city. The toilet even has an auntie to help with whoever needs help with toileting or shower. I also believe my children has nv gotten hfmd there or maybe just once but it could have been from outside too, I do not recall any huge case of hfmd outbreak for the past few years, which is very rare as I hear from my friends with kids in other schools sharing the woes of hfmd. The ratio of teacher to kids is great too. The school fees, though not the cheapest, is reasonable after deduction of incentives from working mom subsidy. I believe in paying fairly the the quality. I will continue to travel daily for the next 3 years for my #2. I highly recommend anyone who is still considering childcare centres to give them a chance and have a tour there!

my daughter has been studying at Apple tree playhouse since 3.5 years. All the teachers are very friendly and warm towards us. The environment is very pleasant and full of positive vibes. i highly recommend this place for preschool kids

We love Apple Tree Playhouse. The teachers are truly amazing and committed. They make sure every child feels safe, happy, and cared for.

Our child is always excited to go to school because of the teachers and all the interesting things they do.

How much does "Apple Tree Playhouse" charge per month?›

Apple Tree Playhouse operates on a monthly recurring fee structure, priced at the mid-range tier. When enquiring, ask specifically about the full cost breakdown, which typically includes a one-time registration fee, a deposit (commonly equivalent to two months' fees), as well as any uniform or insurance charges that may apply separately. Childcare and playgroup fees in Singapore are GST-exempt, so the monthly figure quoted should be the amount you pay. Confirm in writing whether meals, consumables, or enrichment activities are bundled into the monthly fee or charged additionally. See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →

What subsidies can I claim at "Apple Tree Playhouse"?›

Government subsidies for childcare in Singapore are administered by ECDA and are available only to Singapore citizen children enrolled at ECDA-licensed centres. The Basic Subsidy provides up to S$300 per month for childcare (and up to S$600 per month for infant care). Working mothers who clock at least 56 hours of work per month may also qualify for the Additional Working Mother's Child Care Subsidy on top of this. For lower-income families, the Additional Subsidy (income-tested) can bring the combined subsidy quantum up to S$710 per month. Singapore Permanent Resident children receive partial subsidies at a lower rate. The KiFAS scheme applies specifically to MOE kindergartens and is separate from childcare subsidies. Subsidy amounts and eligibility criteria are reviewed periodically. Confirm current figures directly with ECDA at ecda.gov.sg before making financial plans, and verify whether Apple Tree Playhouse is an ECDA-licensed centre, as subsidy eligibility depends on this.

Is there a waitlist at "Apple Tree Playhouse"?›

Demand for playgroup and childcare places in Singapore — particularly at conveniently located centres such as those in integrated shopping developments — means that popular slots can fill several months in advance. As a general guide, families are advised to enquire three to six months ahead of their intended start date, with January being the peak intake month when many programmes begin their new academic year. To secure a place, centres typically require payment of a registration fee and a deposit, so it is worth clarifying the reservation process when you first make contact. Contact Apple Tree Playhouse directly via WhatsApp, phone, or the enquiry form to ask about current availability for your preferred start month and to understand the steps needed to hold a slot.
