About ChildFirst Pre-school

About "ChildFirst Pre-school"

ChildFirst Pre-school is a KakiList-verified childcare and infant care provider located at Hillview Avenue in Singapore. It is registered with ACRA and holds a 4.9-star rating on Google across 37 reviews — a moderate sample size that is encouraging but worth treating with some caution. Fees are priced at the mid-range tier ($$) on a monthly recurring basis. No ECDA licence is currently listed on this profile, so families are advised to confirm regulatory status directly with the centre.

Families considering infant care at ChildFirst Pre-school should begin by enquiring about slot availability for their intended start month, as infant care places in Singapore are limited and in high demand. During your initial enquiry, ask about the infant-to-caregiver ratio, daily routine structure, feeding and nap schedules, and the settling-in period policy for new infants. It is also worth asking whether the centre accepts ECDA subsidies for Singapore citizen children, and whether a centre visit can be arranged before enrolment.

To get started, contact ChildFirst Pre-school by phone or via their online enquiry form to check current availability for your preferred intake month and to schedule a centre visit.

Things we appreciate about the school: 1. clear and timely updates about curriculum and school work- my child has blossomed since joining the school in k1. she speaks enthusiastically about the activities in school and the updates also help us engage her at home. 2. holistic approach: the school prides itself in coding and my child also enjoys the AI chinese and math sessions. not only that, she also enjoys the hands on activities and learning journeys planned. 3. enclosed classrooms: dedicated classrooms for each class so that learning can take place effectively. 4. caring teachers and management: we sense that they care immensely about the holistic development of a child. 5. events like CNY, christmas etc celebrated with the involvement of parents - meaningful activities planned for us. Thank you for providing a safe and nurturing space for our child!

We are truly happy and grateful to have chosen ChildFirst@Hillview for our son. Although he has only been attending for a month, we already feel a strong connection with the school. From the very first visit, we were impressed by the bright classrooms, safe and well-maintained facilities, and—most importantly—the warm smiles from every staff member. During the first week, I noticed that every teacher and staff member could call my son by name, which made us feel truly welcomed and cared for. This is my son's first time in kindergarten. At first, he cried so much that he didn't want to go to school. But the teachers fully embraced his mood, talking gently to him, patiently comforting him, and even staying by his side throughout the nap. We really appreciate your concern, it means a lot to us. It is clear to us that the teachers here are not only professional, but really kind and compassionate. We feel very fortunate to be part of the ChildFirst@Hillview family. Thank you for all the love and dedication you give to the children every day.

My child has enjoyed Childfirst, having transferred over from a previous school. The teachers care very much for the children, and the curriculum is rigorous. The school regularly engages us parents, and we are deeply involved in our child’s education journey. The school puts in a lot of effort to scaffold their lessons and plan varied and engaging lessons. Thank you, Childfirst!

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does "ChildFirst Pre-school" charge per month?

ChildFirst Pre-school charges fees on a monthly recurring basis, priced at the mid-range ($$) tier. Exact figures are not published on this listing, so you will need to contact the centre directly for the current monthly rate. When enquiring, ask specifically about any one-off registration fee, the deposit amount (typically equivalent to one to two months of fees), and any additional charges for uniform, insurance, or enrichment programmes. Childcare and infant care fees in Singapore are GST-exempt, so the quoted monthly fee should reflect the full amount payable. Always request a written fee schedule before committing. See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →

What subsidies can I claim at "ChildFirst Pre-school"?

Singapore citizen children enrolled in licensed infant care centres may be eligible for the Basic Subsidy of up to S$600 per month for infant care, or up to S$300 per month for childcare. Working mothers who clock at least 56 hours of work per month may also qualify for the Additional Working Mother's Child Care Subsidy, which provides further relief on top of the Basic Subsidy. For lower-income families, the Additional Subsidy (income-tested) can bring the combined subsidy up to S$710 per month or more. Permanent resident children receive partial subsidies at reduced quantum. Subsidy eligibility and amounts are subject to change, and the centre must hold a valid ECDA licence for subsidies to apply — confirm this directly with ChildFirst Pre-school. Always check the ECDA website for the most current subsidy figures before making enrolment decisions.

Is there a waitlist at "ChildFirst Pre-school"?

Infant care places in Singapore are among the most competitive in the childcare sector. Popular centres are frequently fully subscribed, and waitlists at sought-after locations can stretch three to twelve months ahead. January is the peak intake period, as it aligns with the start of the calendar year, though some centres also take in new enrolments mid-year when vacancies arise. To improve your chances of securing a place, contact ChildFirst Pre-school as early as possible — ideally at least six months before your intended start date. Ask whether a registration fee or deposit is required to join the waitlist or confirm a slot. Reach out by phone or via the enquiry form on this listing to check current availability for your preferred month.
