Families interested in a place should enquire early about slot availability for their intended start month, as international school playgroup cohorts are typically small. When you make contact — by phone or via the enquiry form — ask about the infant-to-caregiver ratio, the daily routine, and the length of the settling-in period. It is also worth confirming which nationalities are eligible for any ECDA subsidy arrangements, as subsidy entitlements differ between Singapore citizens, permanent residents, and international families. Bring any relevant documents to a centre visit so you can assess the learning environment and meet the lead teacher directly.

ECDA childcare subsidies are available to Singapore citizen children attending licensed childcare centres. The Basic Subsidy offers up to S$600 per month for infant care and up to S$300 per month for childcare. Working mothers employed for at least 56 hours per month may also qualify for the Additional Working Mother's Child Care Subsidy. An Additional Subsidy of up to S$710 per month (combined with other subsidies, income-tested) is available for lower-income families. Permanent resident children are eligible for partial subsidies. Subsidy amounts and eligibility criteria are updated periodically, so confirm current figures directly with ECDA at go.gov.sg/ecda before making enrolment decisions. Note that Dover Court International School does not currently hold a listed ECDA licence — clarify subsidy eligibility with the school and ECDA directly.
International school playgroup places tend to be limited, and popular slots — particularly for younger age groups — can fill several months in advance. It is advisable to enquire at least three to six months before your intended start date. January is typically the main intake month for many programmes in Singapore, though some international schools operate rolling admissions. To secure a place, you will usually need to submit a registration form and pay a registration fee or deposit. Contact Dover Court International School by phone or via the enquiry form on this page to check current availability and to understand the enrolment process for your child's age group.
