About "IROHA Kindergarten"
IROHA Kindergarten is a KakiList-verified and ACRA-registered childcare provider offering playgroup programmes, located at Stadium Walk in the Kallang area. The centre is listed at a mid-range price point ($$) on a monthly recurring basis. It holds a Google rating of 3.7 out of 5, though this is drawn from only 6 reviews and should be treated as directional rather than conclusive.
Families considering IROHA Kindergarten are encouraged to enquire early about available slots for their intended start month, as places — particularly in playgroup programmes — can fill up ahead of key intake periods. When you make contact, ask about the daily routine, the infant-to-caregiver ratio, and the settling-in process so your child can adjust comfortably. It is also worth confirming whether the centre accepts ECDA subsidies, as Singapore citizen children may be eligible for financial assistance depending on household income and parental working status.
The most direct next step is to reach out via phone or the enquiry form listed on this page to check current availability, arrange a centre visit, and request a full fee schedule before making any commitment.

Our family has been with Iroha Japanese Kindergarten for over a year and a half now, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Neither my husband nor I speak a word of Japanese, but Iroha has truly exceeded our expectations in many ways. Location & Facilities: We were drawn to the surrounding environment, particularly the Singapore Stadium area. It’s a rare find—a fully sheltered space with no motorized vehicles, right next to an MRT station. It’s perfect for young children, providing both safety and convenience. Language Acquisition: One of the most impressive aspects is how effortlessly our son has learned Japanese. He speaks it fluently, almost like a native. As adults, we know how challenging it can be to pick up a new language, so seeing our child learn it naturally has been incredible. Cultural Exposure: Every day, our son is immersed in Japanese culture—from the food to the customs. We are particularly impressed by the school’s attention to detail and the politeness of both the staff and the children. The teachers are not only kind and nurturing but also exceptionally friendly, soft-spoken, and genuinely dedicated to the children’s well-being. Diverse & Inclusive Environment: Kudos to the management team under Mr. David! The student body is diverse and international, and children never feel like outsiders—even if they don’t speak Japanese. It’s a wonderful environment for families from all walks of life. We highly recommend Iroha Japanese Kindergarten to not only Japanese families but also to local Singaporeans and expats who appreciate Japanese culture and values. It’s truly a special place for young children to grow and learn.
Teachers change very often and dealing with the new school bus service provider is an every day ordeal. Changing ownership has not been good so far. The new owners, assuming they care about the families’ and children’s safety and welfare, have to step in before it’s too late.
Kids are out of control. Sitting at the cafe downstairs can witness alot of horror. Maybe they should educate the Japanese parents on how to manage, at the same time educating their kids.

IROHA Kindergarten is listed at a mid-range price tier ($$) on a monthly recurring basis, but a precise monthly fee figure is not publicly confirmed in this listing. When you enquire directly, ask for the full breakdown, which typically includes a one-off registration fee, a deposit (commonly equivalent to two months' fees), and any charges for uniforms or personal accident insurance. Childcare fees in Singapore are GST-exempt, so the amount quoted should be the amount you pay. Always request a written fee schedule before signing any enrolment agreement.

Singapore citizen children enrolled in licensed childcare centres may be eligible for the Basic Subsidy (up to S$300 per month for childcare and playgroup programmes), and working mothers who clock 56 or more hours per month may additionally qualify for the Working Mother's Child Care Subsidy. Lower-income families may also access Additional Subsidy, which can bring combined monthly support up to S$710 or more depending on household income. For kindergarten-based programmes, the KiFAS (KidSTART and other fee assistance schemes) may apply. Permanent residents are eligible for partial subsidies only. Subsidy amounts and eligibility criteria are reviewed periodically, so confirm the current figures directly with ECDA at www.ecda.gov.sg before budgeting. Note that subsidy eligibility depends on the centre holding an ECDA licence — verify this with IROHA Kindergarten directly, as no licence details are currently recorded in this listing.
Availability at childcare centres and playgroups in Singapore can be limited, particularly around the January intake period when many families begin new enrolment cycles. For popular programmes, it is advisable to enquire three to twelve months ahead of your intended start date. To secure a place, centres typically require a completed registration form together with a registration fee and, in some cases, a deposit. Current availability at IROHA Kindergarten is not confirmed in this listing, so contact the centre directly by phone or via the enquiry form to ask about open slots for your preferred start month.
