About "LEAP SchoolHouse"
LEAP SchoolHouse is a childcare and playgroup provider located at City Square Mall in the Farrer Park area, verified by KakiList as an operating centre. It carries a Google rating of 4.4 out of 5, though this is drawn from only 7 reviews, so it should be treated as directional rather than statistically definitive. Fees are priced at a mid-range level (indicated as $$) on a monthly recurring basis.
Families considering LEAP SchoolHouse should begin by enquiring about available slots for their intended start month, as playgroup and childcare places can fill up quickly. When you make contact, ask about the daily routine, the infant-to-caregiver ratio, and the settling-in period so your child can transition comfortably. It is worth arranging a centre visit to meet the lead teacher and see the learning environment first-hand. Singapore citizen children may be eligible for ECDA childcare subsidies, including the Basic Subsidy and Working Mother's Subsidy, depending on household income and the mother's employment status — confirm eligibility directly with ECDA or the centre.
To take the next step, reach out to LEAP SchoolHouse via phone or the enquiry form listed on this page to ask about current availability, monthly fees, and any registration or deposit requirements before securing your child's place.
Visit the centre in person, meet the lead teacher, and read the parent contract before signing.

My 2.5 year old has been going here for a while now. We love the school. Ms Esther has been very kind from the time of school visit till now. She shows a genuine care for each child and specialises in child education. The teachers and staff are excellent (eg Teacher Fi Fi). You can tell that the school goes out of the way to make sure that the children feel comfortable first and fosters a fantastic learning environment. Will highly recommend to other parents considering a Playschool.
Our son Manu had a marvelous time at Leap Schoolhouse. We visited several other schools before, but were immediately convinced that Leap was the right choice for us because of the relaxed atmosphere and the warm and cheerful teachers. Children have loads of fun while learning and the teachers truly have attention for more than only cognitive learning. They also learn important life skills such as creativity and healthy living. Kids are respected and encouraged in a positive and loving way. Their independence is trained which boosts their confidence. Location is very convenient at City Square Mall. The energetic miss Esther Lim leads the school with vision and passion. If you want your child to have a balanced, joyful and multi-faceted early learning experience, LEAP Schoolhouse is a great option.
Great Childcare centre and staff. The place is also in a mall so a good place to walk around with kiddos before and after school.

LEAP SchoolHouse operates on a monthly recurring fee model, priced at a mid-range level for Singapore. Exact figures are not publicly listed, so contact the centre directly for a current fee schedule. Beyond the monthly tuition fee, families should ask about a one-time registration fee, a deposit (typically equivalent to one to two months of fees), as well as any uniform or personal accident insurance charges. Childcare fees in Singapore are GST-exempt, which is worth confirming when reviewing your invoice. Fees can vary by programme type and the child's age group, so request a full written breakdown before committing. See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →
Singapore citizen children enrolled at an ECDA-licensed centre may qualify for the Basic Subsidy — up to S$600 per month for infant care or S$300 per month for childcare. Mothers who work at least 56 hours per month may also be eligible for the Working Mother's Subsidy, which provides additional support on top of the Basic Subsidy. For lower-income households, the Additional Subsidy (income-tested) can bring combined support up to S$710 per month or more. Permanent resident children receive partial subsidies at reduced quantum. Note that LEAP SchoolHouse must hold an ECDA licence for subsidies to apply — please verify this directly with the centre or on the ECDA website, as no licence is currently recorded on this listing. Subsidy amounts and eligibility criteria are subject to change. Always check the ECDA website for the most current figures before making enrolment decisions.
Demand for childcare and playgroup places in Singapore can be high, particularly for popular centres and infant care programmes. It is generally advisable to enquire at least three to six months ahead of your intended start date, and up to twelve months ahead for infant care slots. January is the peak intake month for most centres, so families targeting the new year should act early. To secure a place, centres typically require payment of a registration fee and a deposit. Contact LEAP SchoolHouse directly via phone or the enquiry form to ask about current availability for your child's age group and intended start month, as waitlist status can change frequently.
