★★★★★

★☆☆☆☆
My son attended this school for 11 months in 2025 and experienced six teacher changes during that time including four Chinese teachers and two English teachers in his class. The teacher turnover rate is extremely high, and the remaining teachers were forced to take on heavier workloads, which reflects poor school management. One Chinese teacher whom my son really liked was suddenly asked to leave without any proper explanation or transition period, which was upsetting for both the children and parents. In addition, 1-2 years old students were given excessive homework and constantly asked to bring various items to school two to three times a week, creating a heavy and unreasonable burden for parents. Despite the school’s promise during our campus visit that there were only two PN classes, it rapidly expanded to four classes, which further affected stability and quality. In addition, the food provided is of very low quality — children are often served only plain white porridge almost every day. Some parents have had to prepare lunch boxes so their children can eat better. My son frequently comes home asking for food even though he has just had lunch at school. Overall, this has been a disappointing experience, and I would not recommend this school.

Highly recommended preschool nested in nature. Children are not confined indoors, they get to explore, enjoy outdoor activities and learn about being environmentally friendly. The school admin team and teachers are excellent, everything is communicated through the school app - from parent involvement activities to weekly updates on learnings and photo updates.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does "Children's Cove" charge per month?›
Children's Cove is priced at the mid-range tier ($$) for Singapore infant care. Beyond the monthly fee itself, families should ask about a one-off registration fee and a deposit, which is typically equivalent to two months of fees and is refundable subject to notice terms. Additional costs to clarify include uniform or bedding requirements and any group insurance levy. Childcare and infant care fees in Singapore are GST-exempt, so the monthly amount quoted should be the amount payable. Subsidy eligibility can reduce the net cost significantly for eligible families. See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →
What subsidies can I claim at "Children's Cove"?›
Singapore citizen children enrolled in a licensed infant care centre may be eligible for the Basic Subsidy of up to S$600 per month. Working mothers who clock 56 hours or more of work per month may additionally qualify for the Working Mother's Child Care Subsidy. Families with a gross monthly household income below the relevant threshold may also access the Additional Subsidy, with combined support potentially reaching up to S$710 per month depending on income band. Permanent Resident children are eligible for a partial Basic Subsidy only. Subsidy amounts are subject to change, and the figures above reflect published ECDA guidelines — contact ECDA directly or visit the LifeSG portal for the most current quantum and eligibility criteria before making enrolment decisions.
Is there a waitlist at "Children's Cove"?›
Infant care places in Singapore are among the most competitive in the early childhood sector, and families are generally advised to enquire between three and twelve months before their intended start date. January is the peak intake month, as it aligns with the start of the academic year, meaning slots can be secured well in advance by families who plan early. To reserve a place, centres typically require payment of a registration fee and a deposit. Contact Children's Cove directly via phone or the enquiry form to ask about current availability for your child's birth month and intended enrolment date, as waitlist status changes frequently.
