About Care Corner Learning Support
Care Corner Learning Support is a special needs school operating islandwide from its centre at 149 Lor 1 Toa Payoh, Singapore. The listing is KakiList verified, meaning operating details and contact information have been confirmed by a real person. It carries a 5-out-of-5 rating on Google, though this is based on only two reviews and should be treated as directional rather than conclusive. Monthly fees are listed at a mid-range price point ($$); contact the school directly to confirm the current fee schedule.
For families considering Care Corner Learning Support, the starting point is confirming whether the school's programme is suited to your child's diagnosed condition — whether that is autism spectrum disorder, global developmental delay, a hearing or visual impairment, or a physical disability. You will typically need a diagnostic report from a developmental paediatrician, psychologist, or MOE Psychological Service before a formal application can proceed. Once you have made contact, enquire about an observation visit or intake assessment so the education and therapy team can assess fit with your child's profile. Ask specifically about the therapist-integrated day (speech therapy, occupational therapy, physiotherapy), the teacher-to-student ratio, and the longer-term transition pathway — whether toward a mainstream school setting, vocational training, or continued SPED placement.
To take the next step, call or submit an enquiry form through the contact channels listed on this page, and have your child's most recent diagnostic documentation ready to share with the admissions team.
Visit the school, meet the education and therapy team, and request an intake assessment before committing — fit with your child's specific needs matters more than prestige.

Fees vary considerably depending on the type of programme and your child's citizenship status. MOE-gazetted SPED schools charge Singapore Citizens approximately S$150 per month, which is heavily subsidised. EIPIC (Early Intervention Programme for Infants and Children) centres operate on an income-tested basis, with fees typically ranging from S$150 to S$800 per month. Private special needs schools sit at the higher end, generally S$1,500 to S$4,000 or more per month. Care Corner Learning Support's specific fee has not been published in full detail on this listing, so parents should contact the school directly for a current fee schedule. Be prepared to ask about likely extras such as therapy top-up sessions, transport shuttle costs, diagnostic assessment fees at partner clinics, and school uniform and materials. Fees at registered special needs programmes are generally GST-exempt. See the full special needs school cost guide for Singapore →
At MOE-gazetted SPED schools, Singapore Citizens already benefit from the low subsidised flat fee of around S$150 per month; Permanent Residents and foreign nationals pay higher tiered rates. For EIPIC and early intervention programmes, ECDA administers an Additional Subsidy that is income-tested and can significantly reduce monthly fees for qualifying families. NCSS-administered means-tested financial assistance may also be available through the provider's own social worker. SG Enable offers a range of support including the Assistive Technology Fund. MediSave can partially cover therapy components delivered at approved clinic settings. Note that the Basic Childcare Subsidy and Working Mother Subsidy are designed for mainstream childcare and do not apply to SPED or special needs programmes. Funding quantum and eligibility criteria are subject to change. Parents should contact the MOE Special Education Branch and SG Enable directly for the most current figures and application procedures.
The essential first step is obtaining a diagnostic report from a developmental paediatrician, educational psychologist, or MOE Psychological Service. Without formal documentation of your child's diagnosis, most special needs schools are unable to proceed with placement. For MOE-gazetted SPED schools, placement is coordinated through the MOE Special Education Branch rather than directly with the school. For EIPIC centres and private special needs schools such as Care Corner Learning Support, applications are made directly to the provider. Waiting lists at popular programmes can run from several months to over a year, so starting the process early is strongly advisable. Expect an intake assessment or observation visit as part of the admissions process — this allows the school's education and therapy team to confirm that their programme is the right fit for your child's specific needs and profile. Keep a second-choice option in mind while you wait.
