As a student care programme, BtG falls under the ECDA framework — parents of Singapore citizen children should ask directly whether ECDA subsidies apply and what the registration requirements involve.

Visit the centre in person, meet the lead teacher, and read the parent contract before signing.

BTG is a great early intervention centre with amazing teachers who are very dedicated to their job. You can see their passion for children and they are genuine in helping all the special needs children. My daughter has been attending BTG for about 1.5years now. She has made a lot of improvements in terms of speech, motor skills, behaviour and many more. She always look forward for her classes at BTG. Whenever she is unwell, she will feel sad just because she is unable to attend class. That's how much she loves going to BTG! Highly recommend BTG if you're looking for an early intervention centre!
Bridging the Gap is a wonderful early intervention school with a caring and professional team. The principal and teachers are kind, friendly, and genuinely passionate about teaching the children. The occupational and speech therapy classes are well-structured and effective. There are also regular check-ins to give parents great peace of mind. My child has benefitted immensely from the programme. We are truly grateful for the support and dedication of the staff.
We began our journey with Bridging the Gap last August 2022 when our son’s Child Development Pediatrician had suggested us to enrol him for early intervention program due to him being at risk of autism. From then on, we had observed significant improvements from him being able to respond with his name, giving eye contact, able to point and better fine motor skills. As our son is also enrolled at a preschool, the teachers and even the principal have also feedback that they have seen him improved a lot since attending with BTG three times a week.The centre is also very welcoming and vibrant, our son enjoys going there. We still have a long way to go as a family in this journey but glad we have the help and expertise of BTG in caring and understanding our son.
Great quantity and quality of teaching. My son is very happy going to school. I feel like BTG is very good for early intervention program. All the teachers are very warm and kind. Kudos to the team and a BIG THANK YOU for all the effort! Parent of "S"
My son has attended BTG at buona vista since last year. I've searched through all the EIPIC and EIPIC P available closer to the west and had chosen BTG after looking at the good reviews. He was around 2.5 when he attended and had speech delays as well as signs of Asd. Within a month there were significant improvements in speech. His Pre-school teachers also highlighted to us that he was able to speak and understand more. His attention also improved and he actually listens in class. Overall we've seen improvements in all areas after attending for close to a year. The teachers are friendly and supportive and most importantly our son actually loves attending it. We're so glad to have chosen BTG as early intervention centre for our son.

BtG operates on a monthly recurring fee model, listed at the mid-range ($$) tier for student care in Singapore. Exact monthly fees are not publicly displayed, so you will need to contact the centre directly for a current fee schedule. When enquiring, ask about any one-time registration fee, the deposit amount (typically equivalent to one to two months of fees), and whether uniform or insurance costs are billed separately. Childcare and student care fees in Singapore are GST-exempt, so the quoted monthly rate should reflect the full amount payable. See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →
Singapore citizen children enrolled in eligible student care centres may qualify for the Basic Subsidy of up to S$300 per month for childcare, subject to means-testing and programme eligibility. Working mothers who work at least 56 hours per month may also access the Working Mother's Child Relief or additional subsidy support through ECDA, with combined subsidy amounts potentially reaching up to S$710 per month depending on household income. Permanent residents may be eligible for partial subsidies at lower quantum. Subsidy amounts and eligibility criteria are updated periodically, so it is important to verify the current figures directly with ECDA at www.ecda.gov.sg before making any financial assumptions. Confirm with BtG whether the centre is registered to administer these subsidies.
Student care places at well-located centres can fill several months in advance, particularly for the January intake, which is the main enrolment period aligned with the school year. Families are generally advised to enquire three to six months ahead of their intended start date to avoid missing available slots. To secure a place, centres typically require payment of a registration fee and, in some cases, a deposit. Contact BtG directly by phone or through the enquiry form to ask about current availability and any waiting list procedures. If your preferred start date is imminent, it is still worth reaching out, as mid-year vacancies do occasionally arise.
