About Chiltern House
Chiltern House is a preschool and kindergarten listed on KakiList, located at 510 Thomson Road, SLF Building, Singapore 298135. The centre is both KakiList-verified and ACRA-registered. It carries a 5-out-of-5 rating on Google, though this is based on a single review and should be treated as directional only rather than a robust sample. Fees are positioned in the mid-range bracket for Singapore preschools.
Families interested in enrolling should begin by contacting Chiltern House to enquire about available slots for their intended start month, as places — particularly for younger age groups — can fill quickly. When you visit the centre, ask about the child-to-caregiver ratio for your child's age group, the structure of the daily routine, and the settling-in approach for new children. It is also worth confirming whether the centre participates in ECDA subsidy schemes, as eligible Singapore citizen children may qualify for the Basic Subsidy and, where applicable, the Additional Subsidy to offset monthly fees. Bring your child's documents and ask about the registration fee, deposit requirements, and any uniform or insurance charges.
To take the next step, reach out to Chiltern House directly via phone or their enquiry form to check current availability and arrange a centre visit before committing to a place. Listing data is incomplete — contact Chiltern House directly to confirm details.

Chiltern House is listed at a mid-range price point for Singapore preschools and kindergartens, though a specific monthly fee figure is not publicly confirmed in the current listing. In general, Singapore preschool fees vary by programme type and session hours, and you should request a full fee schedule directly from the centre. Beyond the monthly fee, ask about a one-off registration fee, a deposit (typically equivalent to one to two months' fees), and any charges for uniforms or student insurance. Childcare and kindergarten fees in Singapore are GST-exempt, so you should not be charged GST on tuition. See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →
Singapore citizen children enrolled in a licensed childcare centre may be eligible for the Basic Subsidy — up to S$600 per month for infant care and up to S$300 per month for childcare. Working mothers who work at least 56 hours per month may additionally qualify for the Working Mother's Child Care Subsidy. Families with a gross monthly household income below a certain threshold may also apply for the Additional Subsidy, which can bring the combined subsidy to up to S$710 per month in some cases. For children attending a KiFAS-participating kindergarten, a separate fee assistance scheme may apply. Permanent residents are eligible for partial subsidies only. Subsidy amounts and qualifying criteria are reviewed periodically, so contact ECDA directly or visit their website for the most current figures before making enrolment decisions.
Demand for preschool and kindergarten places in Singapore can be high, and it is advisable to enquire at least three to six months ahead of your intended start date. Infant care places in particular are often booked six to twelve months in advance. January is the main intake month for most programmes, so families targeting the new school year should reach out well before that. To secure a place, centres typically require payment of a registration fee and a deposit. Chiltern House currently has only one public review, so availability patterns are not well-documented. Contact the centre directly by phone or through the enquiry form to ask about current waitlist status and the steps needed to reserve a spot.
