Blue Lion Preschool has been such a wonderful place for my daughter over the past 2.5 years. As a values-oriented Buddhist preschool, it has instilled so many positive qualities in her and places a strong emphasis on character building. My daughter has grown to be kind, caring, empathetic, and thoughtful, something far beyond academics. The teachers are patient, genuine, and truly dedicated to the children. The low student-teacher ratio makes the environment very conducive for learning. The school even has an amazing in house cook who prepares delicious and nutritious meals that all the children love. Also, the principal, is always prompt, attentive, and genuinely caring. Blue Lion has an exemplary culture and a deeply nurturing environment. It feels like a closely knitted community, and we are so grateful for the foundation it has given our child. Highly recommended to any parent looking for a preschool that truly cares and prioritises strong character development and emotional growth.
Exceptional in creating an authentic child-led learning environment, Blue Lion Preschool has been part of my child's preschool journey for the past 2 years. I appreciate the founders' vision & teachers' guidance in setting up a school & facilitating children's development of lifelong socio-emotional & executive functioning skills - like problem solving, adaptability, project planning and self-awareness. One highlight of this school is their deep belief in the benefits of outdoor play in child development - which is 1 full hour every day when the weather is good. In-house chef is an amazing cook - all the kids adores his food which is a variety of local, international & western food, and he cooks food related to the school celebration like nasi lemak for the kids. Thanks to the hard & heart work by the school staff & school environmental, my child has grown to be a curious & caring preschooler who is expressive & loving to his friends & family. ❤️
Blue Lion has everything we were looking for in a preschool! We really like the philosophy of the school and how they respect the children as capable individuals and give them sufficient autonomy. The teachers are loving and patient in guiding the children, and they make learning fun. The low teacher-student ratio ensures that every child receives sufficient attention. There is outdoor time daily which we really value and the children engage in interesting activities including gardening and composting. The children also get to enjoy yummy food cooked with love by the in house chef. We really appreicate the cosy school environment and the open communication between the teachers and parents makes Blue Lion feel like a big living family! Both my kids enjoy going to Blue Lion and come home with many exciting stories to share 😀
We’ve found Blue Lion to be such a warm and cosy preschool—very different from many others we visited. From the principal and teachers to the uncle who cooks and the auntie who helps keep the school clean, everyone genuinely cares for the children. It truly feels like a lovely community. Our little one joined at about 23 months old and cried every day at the beginning, but with the care and patience of the teachers, he has now grown to love school. At 2.5 years old, he proudly tells us about the fun he has, brings home his art pieces with excitement, and surprises us with how quickly he is learning—he can now hold proper conversations with us in full sentences. What we especially appreciate is the attention to detail in daily updates. At every pickup, the teachers take time to share how he slept, what he ate, and the little moments that happened in school. This kind of thoughtful communication gives us so much reassurance. Beyond that, the strong values and nurturing culture at Blue Lion are what drew us here in the first place, and seeing our child thrive has confirmed we made the right choice.
A beautiful preschool with caring teachers, a nurturing environment, and an innovative wisdom- centred curriculum. The children are quietly confident and so creative. Would highly recommend!

Blue Lion Preschool is priced at the mid-range tier ($$), with fees structured as a monthly recurring payment. When enquiring, ask specifically about any one-time registration fee and the deposit amount, which is typically equivalent to one to two months of fees. You should also confirm whether uniforms, insurance, and any consumables are bundled into the monthly fee or charged separately. Childcare and playgroup fees are GST-exempt in Singapore, so the monthly amount quoted should be what you pay. Bear in mind that government subsidies can reduce the net cost considerably for eligible families. See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →
Singapore citizen children enrolled in eligible childcare centres may qualify for the Basic Subsidy, worth up to S$300 per month for childcare (or up to S$600 per month for infant care). Working mothers who clock at least 56 hours of work per month may additionally qualify for the Working Mother's Child Relief (Working Mother Subsidy), and lower-income households may receive the Additional Subsidy, which can bring total combined support to as much as S$710 per month. Kindergarten Fee Assistance (KiFAS) applies separately to kindergarten programmes. Permanent Resident children are eligible for partial subsidies only. Subsidy amounts and qualifying criteria are set by ECDA and are reviewed periodically, so parents should visit the ECDA website directly for the most current figures and to check whether Blue Lion Preschool is an approved centre for subsidy purposes.
Demand for playgroup and childcare places in Singapore can be high, and popular centres are sometimes booked out three to twelve months in advance — particularly for January intake, which is the peak enrolment period. It is advisable to begin enquiring as early as possible, even if your intended start date is several months away. To secure a place, most centres require payment of a registration fee and, in many cases, a deposit. Contact Blue Lion Preschool directly by phone or via the enquiry form to ask about current availability for your preferred start month, and confirm what is needed to reserve a slot.
