Parents consistently praise Creative O's experienced staff, particularly Principal Ms Tan, for their patience and hands-on parental engagement during transitions between preschools. The curriculum balances academics with emotional development, life skills, and arts in a safe environment where children explore their interests. However, one former student from 2013 reported a deteriorating experience after initial months, suggesting potential inconsistencies in service quality over time.

This school is amazing and super accommodative. There was a lot to consider before we decided to change preschool as kids usually need time to adjust to new environment. We did not regret our decision! My child thrive and she is learning so much here. The teachers are super helpful and patient. Ms Tan (the principal) is very experienced and really hands on working with parents. The class have a lot of child led activities and have spacious activity rooms. Highly recommended!

A place where the experienced and friendly staff truly cares about nurturing our children like their own children. Curriculum is developmentally appropriate and science backed, they do not overly focus on one track (e.g. academic) or another. Instead, it's a well striked balance on imparting crucial life skills, managing emotions, infusing arts, learning to be kind and gracious, and preparing the children for academic primary school life. There is a very strong parent-teacher-school collaboration here, so I'm rest assured my children's development are connected at home and in school. Right values - from environmental to social causes, healthy eating habits are highly promoted here. The teachers are highly experienced and the school is inclusive (it's not a special needs school though) for children with mild issues. It is also non profit as they focus on early childhood education with heart. My two preschoolers are having a lot of fun while learning and playing creatively. They constantly surprise me on what they can do and achieve. I see many reserved children blossoming into confident children here.

My two boys enjoyed their days at Creative O . The teachers, staff and Ms Tan are kind, patient and experienced. The kids explored different things in a safe and helpful environment, and learnt their interests. For me most importantly, they enjoyed their school days and the relationship with their friends and teachers. It was a difficult time for the kids during the past few years due to COVID. Creative O came up with all kinds of ideas to adapt. Setting up the campsite at school with BBQ and various challenges, having a remote annual concert and then resume the normal one as soon as it's safe and allowed etc. It is the last day for Zhiyuan and Minxing. My family and I really appreciate all the effort from Ms Tan, the teachers, and the staff to make Creative O a great place for the kids! Thank you!

I was a student here in 2013. There are many fantastic experiences written here but mine's the opposite. I am writing this review to share my experience at Creative O Preschoolers' Bay. I still remember all of these unpleasant experiences so vividly up till this day. The first few months was going well, however, the later months was when things started going downhill. There was this specific incident when I vomited on my classmate's back halfway during reading class, I couldn't hold it in. Immediately, I apologised profusely to my classmate . My form teacher (I shall not say who but it was a lady) was furious at me and scolded me in front of the entire class. She took the girl away to the toilet to clean her up. She took my towel to clean her up. As a student who stayed there for full day, I took showers there. That left me with a wet and dirty towel to dry myself up after my shower later on in the afternoon. Another incident happened with the same teacher. It was lunch time. I could not finish my noodles. Being the last one who hasn't finished my food, I took my unfinished noodles and put it into the 'return' bucket. That form teacher caught me in the act and gave me a stern look. She took another plate and gave me another serving of noodles. She pulled me back to my seat and forced me to finish those serving of noodles as I didn't finish my previous plate. I was extremely full, however, she went on to force spoonfuls of it into my mouth. Nothing seemed to stop her despite my cries and pleas to ask her to stop. Lastly, this incident made me quit this terrible school. Before entering the school, there would be temperature screenings. The form teacher was outside checking the students' temperatures. I had a fever temperature. She still allowed me in which was bizarre and did not notify my grandparents about it (they drop me off at school). What's more bizarre was that she kept me in the general office for 5 HOURS and only called my dad in the afternoon to notify him I had a fever. When asked what was my temperature taken by her in the morning, she admitted that I had a fever as I entered the building. This incident was a huge indicator to my parents that this kindergarten was not as amazing compared to what family friends had described to us. Because of this teacher, I was terrified of going to school and afraid of what she would do to me. I was so glad to transfer out of this abominable place. I'm pretty sure that the teacher didn't favour me as much compared to other students. She made some negative remarks about me which I still remember up till this date but I shall not get into it specifically. I don't know what I did to make her dislike me or anything but, what could have a kindergartener done to a grown adult? How petty and childish could a teacher be to go to the extent of doing this to a harmless kindergartener who once enjoyed going to school so much? I'm not sure whether this place has changed as it has been many years and whether the teacher is still working there but it doesn't change the fact that I was poorly treated here. Ending off, it was dreadful experience and 100% do not recommend this place for anyone planning to send their child here. :) (p.s: this all happened and nothing of it is made up)

I love creative o I am a graduated student from creative o and thanks to them I'm more open to adventures as in k2 we went for a learning journey on our own without our parents. I would recommend all children and parents who sees this post to join the school u would not regret your choice

How much does Creative O Preschool charge per month?›

Creative O Preschool is priced in the moderate range for Singapore childcare ($$), but specific monthly fees have not been published on this listing and should be confirmed directly with the centre. As a general guide, full-day childcare in Singapore ranges from roughly S$1,200 to S$2,000 per month before subsidies, depending on the programme level and operating hours. Beyond the monthly fee, ask about a one-time registration fee, a refundable deposit (typically equivalent to two months' fees), and any charges for uniforms or personal accident insurance. Childcare fees in Singapore are GST-exempt, so no GST should be added to the fees quoted. See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →

What subsidies can I claim at Creative O Preschool?›

Singapore citizen children enrolled in an ECDA-licensed childcare centre may be eligible for the Basic Subsidy — up to S$600 per month for infant care or S$300 per month for childcare. Working mothers who clock 56 or more hours of work per month may additionally qualify for the Working Mother's Child Relief (WMCR) and the Additional Subsidy, which is income-tested and can bring total combined subsidy support to up to S$710 per month for lower-income households. Kindergarten Fee Assistance (KiFAS) is available for kindergarten programmes at eligible centres. Permanent resident children receive partial subsidies at lower quantum than citizens. Subsidy amounts and eligibility criteria are reviewed periodically, so it is advisable to check ECDA's official website for the most current figures before making enrolment decisions. Confirm with Creative O Preschool directly whether the centre is ECDA-registered and which subsidy tiers apply.

Is there a waitlist at Creative O Preschool?›

Waitlists are common at well-regarded preschools in Singapore, particularly for infant care places, where demand consistently outpaces supply. Families are generally advised to enquire three to twelve months ahead of the intended start date. January is the peak intake month aligned with the school calendar year, so competition for places is highest in the months leading up to it. To secure a spot, most centres require payment of a registration fee and, upon acceptance, a deposit. Contact Creative O Preschool directly via phone or their enquiry form to ask about current availability for your child's age group and the process for joining any waitlist that may be in place.
