About "KidsFirst"
KidsFirst is a preschool and kindergarten provider operating islandwide in Singapore, with a centre at 8 Hongkong St. The listing is KakiList-verified and ACRA-registered, which confirms that a real person has checked the operating details and that the business appears on Singapore's official company registry. No Google reviews are currently available for this listing, so independent rating signals cannot be assessed at this time. Fees are displayed at the mid-range ($$) level, though prospective families should confirm the precise monthly figures directly with the centre.
Families considering KidsFirst should begin by enquiring about slot availability for their intended start month, as places — particularly for infants — can be limited. When you contact the centre, ask about the infant-to-caregiver ratio, the daily routine, and the approach to the settling-in period so your child can adjust gradually. It is also worth clarifying what registration fees and deposits are required to secure a place, and whether the centre is an ECDA-anchor operator, as this affects the subsidies available to Singapore citizen and permanent resident families.
The most practical next step is to call or submit an enquiry form via the KidsFirst listing to check current vacancy for your child's age group and to arrange a centre visit before committing. Listing data is incomplete — contact "KidsFirst" directly to confirm details.
Visit the centre in person, meet the lead teacher, and read the parent contract before signing.

KidsFirst displays a mid-range ($$) price signal, but the exact monthly fee has not been published on this listing. Childcare and kindergarten fees in Singapore vary by programme type, operating hours, and whether the centre is an ECDA-anchor operator. In addition to the monthly fee, families should ask about a one-time registration fee, a refundable deposit (typically equivalent to one to two months' fees), and any charges for uniforms or personal accident insurance. Childcare fees at ECDA-licensed centres are GST-exempt, so the figure quoted should be the amount you pay. Confirm the full fee schedule in writing before signing the parent contract.

Singapore citizen children enrolled at ECDA-licensed anchor operators may qualify for the Basic Subsidy — up to S$600 per month for infant care and up to S$300 per month for childcare. Working mothers who clock 56 hours or more of employment per month may additionally qualify for the Working Mother's Child Relief subsidy. Lower-income families may receive the Additional Subsidy, which can bring the combined monthly support to around S$710 or more depending on household income. Kindergarten programmes may be eligible for KiFAS (Kindergarten Fee Assistance Scheme) instead. Permanent resident children are eligible for partial subsidies at lower quantum levels. Subsidy amounts and eligibility criteria are reviewed periodically, so consult the ECDA website directly for the most current figures before making enrolment decisions.
Demand for preschool and kindergarten places in Singapore — and especially infant care — often exceeds supply at popular centres. It is generally advisable to enquire at least three to six months ahead of your intended start date, and for infant care, six to twelve months is not uncommon. The January intake is typically the most competitive, as it aligns with the start of the school year. To secure a place, most centres require payment of a registration fee and a deposit. Neither confirms a guaranteed spot until the centre issues written confirmation. Contact KidsFirst directly through the phone or enquiry form to check current availability for your child's age group and intended start month.
