About MapleBear
MapleBear is a preschool and kindergarten provider operating islandwide across Singapore, including a centre at 90 Wilkie Road. The listing is KakiList verified and ACRA registered. It carries a 5/5 rating on Google, though this is drawn from only 10 reviews, so it should be treated as directional rather than conclusive. Fees are positioned at a mid-to-upper range (indicated by $$), though specific monthly figures were not provided at the time of listing.
Families considering MapleBear should begin by enquiring about available slots for their intended start month, as places — particularly in infant care — can fill well ahead of time. During initial contact, ask about the infant-to-caregiver ratio, the structure of the daily routine, and the length of the settling-in period. It is also worth confirming whether the centre is ECDA-approved, as this determines eligibility for government subsidies available to Singapore citizen and permanent resident children. A centre visit is strongly recommended before making any commitment, giving you the opportunity to meet the lead teacher and assess the environment directly.
To take the next step, reach out to MapleBear via phone or their enquiry form to check current slot availability for your preferred start month and to arrange a centre visit. Listing data is incomplete — contact MapleBear directly to confirm details.

★★★★★
Maplebear Mount Emily has been the best 4 years for Zane. It truly feels like a second home and not just a school. We never had to worry about Zane’s learning ability in school as all activities conducted in school are done fantastic well by his teachers. At the end of the day, he always goes home with a BIG SMILE. He is definitely going to miss this place when he goes to P1 next year. Lastly, I need to say that everyone in Maplebear Mount Emily definitely goes beyond the minimum in all aspects! I appreciate the commitment from all the teachers and principal.

We have enjoyed the school so much. The school has outdoor playground and every day different activity: gardening, water play, tricycle, slide. Once a week they go to the park nearby and also have a musical class! My son learned a lot during the time at school. School atmosphere is welcoming and calm. Highly recommend!

Great environment - attentive teachers, good class sizes, and lots of effort made for some cool school outings. My kid was very happy here.

We have been thrilled with our experience at Maple bear Mount Emily. Our children, who are now 3 and 5 years old, have been attending since they were just 18 months and we couldn't be happier with the nurturing and stimulating environment they provide. Teachers are incredibly caring, going the extra mile to make sure the kids feel loved and they are continously encouraging creativity and exploration. Couldn't believe my child was already writing and reading by age 4! We higlhy recommend Maple Bear to any parent looking for a holistic curriculum and wonderful experience.

Two of our children have gone to this school and we would recommend it. Our oldest child has also previously attended another Montessori school in the area and we would definitely recommend MapleBear instead of the other preschool. The teachers at MapleBear Mt Emily are exceptional and extremely caring. Our children have learnt so much and the school continues to provide interesting learning experiences. The staff organise events which celebrate the diversity in the school and we are so grateful that our children have grown up in this multicultural and inclusive environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does MapleBear charge per month?›
MapleBear's listing indicates a mid-to-upper price range, but specific monthly fee figures were not published at the time of listing. As a general reference, full-day childcare in Singapore typically ranges from around S$1,200 to S$2,500 per month before subsidies, depending on the programme, age group, and centre location. Kindergarten programmes are usually priced lower than full-day infant or childcare arrangements. Beyond the monthly fee, families should ask about a one-time registration fee, a deposit (commonly equivalent to one to two months of fees), and any charges for uniforms, insurance, or enrichment add-ons. Childcare and kindergarten fees are GST-exempt in Singapore. Contact MapleBear directly for a current fee schedule. See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →
What subsidies can I claim at MapleBear?›
Singapore citizen children enrolled in an ECDA-licensed centre may be eligible 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 Care Subsidy (WMS). For lower-income households, the Additional Subsidy (now administered under the Enhanced Subsidy framework) can bring total combined support higher still, subject to household income testing. For kindergarten enrolment, the KiFAS scheme provides means-tested fee assistance at anchor and partner operators. Permanent resident children may qualify for partial subsidies, though at a reduced rate compared to citizens. Subsidy amounts and eligibility criteria are updated periodically, so always check directly with ECDA at ecda.gov.sg for the most current figures before making financial plans.
Is there a waitlist at MapleBear?›
Demand for quality preschool and kindergarten places in Singapore is high, and popular centres — especially those offering infant care — can fill up three to twelve months in advance. The January intake is typically the most competitive, as it aligns with the start of the school year, so families targeting that period should enquire as early as possible. To secure a place, most centres require payment of a registration fee and, once an offer is made, a deposit to confirm the slot. It is advisable to contact MapleBear directly to ask about current availability for your child's intended start month and age group, and to clarify the process for joining any waitlist should a place not be immediately available.
