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.

We've been sending our daughter to Rainforest Schoolhouse for a year now. The ample green space and passionate teachers make for a rare modern kampung environment that young children can enjoy the great outdoors in! A special shout-out to Teacher Caroline, Teacher Bernie and 王老师, thank you for your patience and love!

Excellent Preschool which nurtures the children to be self independent, inquisitive, fun loving, caring, and self motivated. The school directress and it's staff teachers care for the child enabling parents to work at peace while the child grows up in a safe and educational environment. A great place where I send my three kids!

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.

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.
