Parents specifically credited principal Evelyn and her team for patience, approachability, and commitment to instilling values while preparing children for subsequent educational transitions.

GUG Preschool @ Katong has been an absolute blessing for our family! Sending my three kids there has been the best decision we've made. The teachers are incredibly welcoming and approachable, creating a warm and nurturing environment for the children. The variety of activities offered, from water play to yoga, cooking, and even robotics, ensuring that there's always something exciting happening. What's truly remarkable is how they've sparked my kids' interest in Chinese through engaging experiments, delightful songs, and captivating stories. It's truly an awesome place where learning knows no bounds!

We transferred Javier to GUG Katong from another childcare center at the start of his K2 year and he adapted very well to the new environment very quickly. Ms Yvelyn’s, the in-charge, commitment to early education and her belief in influencing the correct values to young children gave us confidence that our child is in good hands. The center teachers are patient and encouraging. My child’s favorite teacher was张老师. My boy made some close friends fairly quickly and loved the center so much that he balled his eyes out on his last day with the center in Dec 2023. Thank you GUG for giving Javier a wonderful K2 year. 👍

This pre-school is the best choice in the East for your toddler if you value quality care, good teaching techniques, staff members that really care for the well being of your precious ones over branding and fancy marketing. I really appreciate the years of taking great care of my kid by the principal Evelyn and the entire team. Kudos and my strong endorsement.

My son had been attending GUG Katong since N2… now K2. There’s not a day he doesn’t look forward to attending. The school offers wide range including science, yoga, robotics in additional to the regular literacy and numeracy programs. They conducts the classes with lots of fun and creativity into the lessons while preparing them for next level of education. Teachers and staff are friendly and approachable, best of all updates provided to parent’s almost daily! Had been a great help to me whenever I reached out to the Teachers about his behaviors and coaching / educating him! Jun Wei's gonna miss the GUG Katong family lots! Thank you!!

My 1st preschool for my child and I must say that it's really a great time with the school. This is like a big family to my daughter and myself. Everyone is so closely knitted, teachers, principal, director and all staff are so loving, dedicated and caring. My child used to be very shy and quiet, under the teacher's encouragement, she has opened up alot and is more expressive now. Excellent literacy and numeracy syllabus. The foundation in building their skills is excellent. She has no problem in coping with Primary 1 academically. Big thank you to Ms Zhang, Ms Yvelyn, 张老师，Teacher Siti, Teacher Mochi & all the staff in GUG. Thank you for making my child 's preschool journey a memorable one with many sweet memories to remember.

How much does "Growing Up Gifted" charge per month?›

Growing Up Gifted is priced at the mid-range ($$) tier for infant care in Singapore. Market rates for infant care at private and anchor operator centres typically range from around S$1,200 to S$2,800 per month before subsidies, depending on the centre type, location, and hours of care. Contact the centre directly for their current published fee schedule. Beyond the monthly fee, be prepared for a one-time registration fee and a deposit — commonly equivalent to one to two months' fees — payable upon enrolment. Some centres also charge for items such as uniform sets and personal accident insurance. Childcare fees in Singapore are GST-exempt, so the published rate should be what you pay.

What subsidies can I claim at "Growing Up Gifted"?›

Singapore citizen children enrolled in a licensed infant care centre may be eligible for the Basic Subsidy of up to S$600 per month. Working mothers employed for at least 56 hours per month may additionally qualify for the Working Mother's Child Care Subsidy. For lower-income households, the Additional Subsidy provides further means-tested support, and combined with the Working Mother's Child Care Subsidy, the total assistance can be substantial. Permanent Resident children are eligible for partial subsidies at lower quantum. Subsidy amounts are subject to periodic revision by ECDA, so figures quoted here should be treated as indicative only. Always check directly with ECDA or the centre's administrative team for the current rates and eligibility criteria before making enrolment decisions. To claim subsidies, the centre must be ECDA-licensed. Confirm the centre's licence status with ECDA before enrolment.

Is there a waitlist at "Growing Up Gifted"?›

Infant care places in Singapore are among the most sought-after in the early childhood sector, and popular centres can have waitlists stretching three to twelve months ahead. It is generally advisable to enquire at least six months before your intended start date, and some families begin making enquiries as early as the first trimester of pregnancy. January is typically the peak intake month, so spots for that period fill especially quickly. To secure a place, most centres require payment of a registration fee and deposit, which effectively holds the slot. Growing Up Gifted is located at Katong V on East Coast Road — contact the team directly via WhatsApp, phone, or the online form to ask about current availability and the steps needed to join any waitlist.
