About "My First Skool"
My First Skool is a childcare provider operating islandwide across Singapore, including a centre at 229 Ang Mo Kio Ave 3. The listing is KakiList-verified and ACRA-registered. The centre holds a 5/5 rating on Google across 54 reviews — a moderate sample size, so this figure is encouraging but worth weighing alongside a personal visit. Fees are priced at the mid-range tier ($$) on a monthly recurring basis.
Families considering My First Skool should begin by enquiring about available slots for their intended start month, as places — particularly in infant care and playgroup — can fill quickly. When you contact the centre, ask about the infant-to-caregiver ratio, the structure of the daily routine, and the settling-in period policy so your child can adjust at a comfortable pace. It is also worth confirming whether your child is eligible for ECDA subsidies, which can meaningfully reduce the monthly cost for Singapore citizens, and whether the centre is registered to process those claims directly.
The most straightforward next step is to reach out via WhatsApp, phone, or the enquiry form to check current availability for your preferred start month and to arrange a centre visit before making any commitment.
Visit the centre in person, meet the lead teacher, and read the parent contract before signing.

I decided to enrol my girl in this branch because of the teachers’ experience and attention to detail. My husband and I appreciate how the principal addressed our concerns and supported the teachers. Best decision for choosing this centre for my girl! Thank you!
An outstanding preschool with excellent management and a team of passionate educators. The principal leads with great professionalism and heart, creating a positive and safe learning environment for all children. We’ve seen tremendous development and confidence in our child since joining. Truly a five-star experience👍
Excellent preschool with dedicated teachers and a well-structured curriculum. The staff truly care about each child’s development, and communication with parents is always clear and supportive. Couldn’t be happier with our choice!
Ms. Tina is a highly experienced early childhood educator with excellent problem-solving skills. She is a passionate and sincere Principal who cares deeply for both children and staff, showing warmth and kindness in all she does. Teachers here all cheerful and lovely always. Definitely 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This school has been an absolute blessing for my boys and my family. We very fortunately found spaces for two of our boys in June this year. The centre is like one big happy family. The teachers are all very kind, very caring and always happy. They know every student who walks through their doors and they are always looking out for every child. The teachers are very communicative and can always share about my boys’ development when I go and pick them up. My boys have never been to school and they adapted very quickly, testament to the hard work of the teachers. After getting used to going to school, they are happy to go everyday. The center is very clean, and the staff members are very particular about hygiene. They are constantly wiping down the mats the children sleep on. Kids are not allowed to bring comfort items from home, but this also means a lower chance of getting HFMD. I was a little apprehensive about the non-aircond condition, but it turned out to be great. The good air circulation means my kids fall sick less easily. My kids love the food that the in-house cook prepares for them everyday! Their favorite is her carrot cake. Meals are prepared to meet HPB’s platinum accreditation for healthy preschool. The staff are also very vigilant when feeding my son who has allergies. Last but not least, their curriculum is also top notch. They introduce age appropriate activities to the kids, and put in so much effort into crafting learning corners for the kids based on their interests. I am excited for my kids to grow in this environment!

My First Skool is priced at the mid-range tier ($$) on a monthly recurring basis, though the exact fee will depend on your child's age group and the specific programme. When enquiring, ask for a full fee breakdown that includes the one-time registration fee, the deposit (typically equivalent to two months' fees), and any uniform or insurance charges that may apply separately. It is worth noting that childcare fees in Singapore are GST-exempt, so the quoted monthly figure should be what you pay. Always confirm the full schedule of fees in writing before signing any agreement. See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →
Singapore citizen children enrolled in licensed childcare centres 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 work at least 56 hours per month may additionally qualify for the Working Mother's Child Care Subsidy. Families with lower household incomes may further qualify for the Additional Subsidy, which can bring the combined monthly support to up to S$710 or more depending on income tier. Permanent resident children are eligible for partial subsidies at lower quantum. Subsidy amounts are subject to change, and the figures above are for general guidance only. Contact ECDA directly or visit their website for the most current subsidy rates and eligibility criteria before making enrolment decisions.
Waitlists at popular childcare centres in Singapore are common, particularly for infant care and playgroup places. As a general rule, families are advised to enquire at least three to six months ahead of their intended start date, and up to twelve months ahead for infant care at in-demand centres. January is typically the peak intake month, so competition for places is highest around that period. To secure a slot, centres usually require payment of a registration fee and a deposit. Contact My First Skool directly via WhatsApp, phone, or the enquiry form to ask about current availability for your preferred age group and start month, as wait times vary by centre location and programme.
