About Forest School Singapore

About "Forest School Singapore"

Forest School Singapore is a preschool and kindergarten provider operating at 70 Martaban Road, Singapore 328667, and is listed as islandwide in coverage. The listing has been verified by KakiList, meaning a real person confirmed the operating details and contact channel. It holds a perfect 5-out-of-5 rating on Google, though this is based on only 10 reviews and should be treated as directional rather than definitive. Fees are indicated at the mid-range price tier ($$), though specific monthly fee figures are not published on this listing.

Families considering Forest School Singapore should begin by contacting the centre via phone or enquiry form to ask about slot availability for their intended start month. During that conversation, it is worth asking about the infant-to-caregiver ratio, the daily routine structure, and the approach to the settling-in period for younger children. Parents should also enquire about any registration fee, deposit requirements, and whether ECDA subsidies apply to their child's citizenship status, as these can meaningfully reduce out-of-pocket costs for Singapore citizen families.

The most practical next step is to call or submit the enquiry form to confirm current availability and arrange a centre visit, where you can meet the lead teacher, observe the environment first-hand, and review the parent contract before making any commitment. Listing data is incomplete — contact "Forest School Singapore" directly to confirm details.

Rainforest Schoolhouse has been amazing for my daughter! My girl has become independent and more outspoken since we've sent her here. The teachers and the school directress are so caring, I know my daughter is in good hands, learning and growing in a safe, fun place. At first, I only wanted my daughter to do half days, but after seeing how much attention and love every teacher gives, I switched her to full-day classes. Best decision ever! In less than a year, she’s become so independent and confident. I also keep hearing how much all the kids love the food they serve — that says a lot about how thoughtful the school is with everything they do. Honestly, I wish I had known about this preschool sooner. It’s such a great place, and I’m so grateful to have found it — and even more grateful to all the teachers and staff who put so much heart into what they do every day.

Our daughter, Alice, loved being a student at the Rainforest Schoolhouse. The education that she received there really prepared her well for primary school. In fact, even though English is Alice's first language, she learned so much Mandarin at Rainforest that she could attend a bilingual (English/Mandarin) program for primary school. Alice also enjoyed growing up with all of her Rainforest classmates and they still keep in touch, 2 years after graduation from kindergarten. Teacher Caroline has devoted her life to the students and does a great job!!

My child fondly remembers the food, his friends, and engaging activities like art, water play, and planting. The school provided a strong academic foundation for him in English, Math, and Chinese, which left him well-equipped for Primary School. I chose Rainforest initially for its expansive outdoor area and diverse student mix. I appreciated the spacious classrooms and proximity to my home. As a Montessori school, it teaches practical skills and has frequent art activities. Their sports classes with professionals, like gym and football, stand out due to their vast space. The teachers' compassionate approach to children, including kids who need more time to adjust, is admirable. A highlight was their biweekly water play day in their large grassy areas, complete with inflatable tubs and toys, a treat my son always looked forward to. Communication with parents were friendly and professional and there was never any last-minute matters. There were occasional outings which did not overwhelm parents, and there wasn't a lot of extras to pay for. There were some challenges for us, largely due to the school's head, Teacher Caroline, having to manage multiple roles. However, after communicating our concerns about her impatient interactions with staff, I saw positive changes. Her responsiveness to feedback and her kindness during a personal incident during the COVID period showcased her commitment and compassion. Other teachers like Teacher Moon and Zhu Lau Shi were also fantastic, providing insightful feedback and fostering a warm environment. In sum, Rainforest Schoolhouse offers a comprehensive, nurturing environment for children, and I'm grateful for the foundation they provided my child.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does "Forest School Singapore" charge per month?

Forest School Singapore displays a mid-range price point ($$), but specific monthly fee figures are not published on this listing. You should contact the centre directly to obtain a full fee schedule. When enquiring, ask about the one-time registration fee, the deposit amount (typically equivalent to two months' fees for childcare centres in Singapore), and whether uniforms and personal accident insurance are charged separately. Childcare and kindergarten fees in Singapore are GST-exempt, so the figure quoted should be the amount you pay. See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →

What subsidies can I claim at "Forest School Singapore"?

Singapore citizen children enrolled in a licensed childcare centre are eligible for the Basic Subsidy — up to S$600 per month for infant care places and S$300 per month for childcare places. Working mothers who clock 56 hours or more of work per month may additionally qualify for the Working Mother's Child Care Subsidy. For lower-income households, the Additional Subsidy (income-tested) can bring the combined subsidy up to S$710 per month in total. For kindergarten-level programmes, the KidSTART and KiFAS schemes may apply depending on household income. Permanent residents receive partial subsidies at lower quantum. Subsidy rates are reviewed periodically, so check directly with ECDA at ecda.gov.sg for the most current figures before budgeting. Note that this listing does not yet confirm ECDA licensing, so verify eligibility with the centre directly.

Is there a waitlist at "Forest School Singapore"?

Demand for quality preschool and kindergarten places in Singapore means popular centres can fill up several months in advance, with infant care places particularly competitive. It is generally advisable to enquire at least three to six months before your intended start date, and in some cases up to twelve months ahead for infant care. January is the primary intake month for most programmes, though mid-year intakes do occur. To secure a place, centres typically require payment of a registration fee and a deposit. Contact Forest School Singapore directly via phone or the enquiry form to ask about current availability for your child's age group and preferred start month before assuming a slot is open.
