Families considering Raffles Kidz International should begin by enquiring about slot availability for their intended start month, as places — particularly for younger age groups — can fill several months in advance. When you visit the centre, ask about the infant-to-caregiver ratio, the daily routine, and the settling-in period offered to help children adjust. It is also worth discussing ECDA subsidies if your child is a Singapore citizen, as these can meaningfully reduce the net monthly fee depending on your household income and employment status.
To take the next step, contact Raffles Kidz International directly by phone or through the enquiry form on their listing to check current vacancy for your child's age group and preferred start date, then arrange a centre visit before committing.
Visit the centre in person, meet the lead teacher, and read the parent contract before signing.

Placing my son in Raffles kidz AMK is the best decision I made! Highly recommended by my best friend who had 3 of her kids at RKI. Prior to registration, I’ve visited at least 4 different schools including premium price pre school, but only Raffles Kidz teacher gave me the kind of feeling that they truly love and care for the kids under their care. My son settled down in school in less than a month, I’m very sure it’s with the help of the thoughtfulness and attention teachers gave. They never fail to send me updates throughout the day to make me feel safe to leave my child in school. You know the teachers genuinely care for the kids through their actions, I’m very grateful towards them! Thank you to everyone in AMK branch for taking such good care of my son so I can fully focus on my work! ❤️❤️
RKI is a great kindergarten. Both my kids went to this school. However, very sadly, we have to change to another school due to the long distance. I’m looking forward for you to open more branches like in Bishan, so that we can continue this journey. Both my kids had their best kinddy time in RKI!
My child has been enrolled in Raffles Kidz International (Jurong West, Yuan Ching) since the infant care stage and is now in Playgroup. We are truly grateful for the nurturing and supportive environment provided by the school. Special thanks to Principal Gwen for her leadership and dedication, and to her current amazing teachers — Teacher Anna, Xiang Laoshi, and Teacher Dila for their patience, warmth, and care. They have played a big role in my child’s development, and it’s heartwarming to see the progress and joy my little one experiences every day.
My son studies in AMK branch since N2 and now turning K2, we look back and find him improved a lot, especially in English/Math and Art related. Thank you Li Laoshi and Teach Fiona spending time with him. Appreciate Raffles Kidz offering various school activities and all the teachers/staffs looking after the kids.
Good teachers , Poor Management, High Teachers turnover rates First of all , I would like to mention that this 1 star review is meant for the RK management not towards any teachers of RK AMK . In fact, I would like to take this opportunity to thanks all the teachers of RK AMK, special thanks to Teacher Cheryl , Teacher Aini , Li Lao Shi for taking such good care of Carys this one and half year ! You ladies are indeed one of the most amazing teachers she ever had! We are super grateful for all the love and kindness she received from you ladies .. My girl , Carys was the pioneer batch of RK Amk ( I think she was the 3rd or 4th student to join this school in July 2023 . Within this short frame of first 6 months , we experienced 2 principals, 2 English teachers(Form Teacher) and 1 Chinese Teacher leaving . We actually stayed and gave them another chance as we find the rest of the teachers very loving and supportive when my girl literally refused school and was seriously depressed for one month after all these changes . 2024 , we are glad that we have two lovely teachers who stayed on for the whole year . Special thanks to Teacher Cheryl who really take care of my girl like her own . Definitely a gem teacher ! My girl will often refuse to go back home because of her . She is like a "mummy" in school for my girl . She is definitely one of the reason why we are travelling 40km daily back and fro for her to continue in this school ! 2025, as for now , both of the teachers have resigned . One left and one pending to leave . Seriously, I feel that it's time your management start to take their teachers seriously and do understand that these lovely teachers are your main assets of your school ! Without all these gems teachers , the students will be leaving the school one by one . It might not apply to all but I am sure most parents would not like to send their children to a school whose teachers change every now and then . The child and even the parents have this special bond with the teachers after all these years. Childcare is not about just running a business with no emotion ! The management should protect their own teachers especially towards some feedbacks made by some ridiculous parents ! I hope u understand there are many parents who are really appreciative of these teachers that didn’t voice out . It's not an easy job to be a teacher , it's not easy to please all the parents . Please treat your teachers well and protect them ! Thats how u get happy teachers , happy students and happy parents ! Carys loved all her teachers and friends so much but we have to make this difficult decision for her to leave . The final straw that leads to the withdrawal will be one English teacher vs 3 classes ( N2 K1 K2 ) for 2025 . I seriously don't know how this poor teacher is going manage 3 classes , can this teacher really handle this much ? Do all the children still get the needed attention when they are just 3-4years old ? I really pity the teacher who is taking up the role, she have to be doing this because of the poor decision made by the management . 3 x the workloads! Sighz

Raffles Kidz International is priced at the mid-range ($$) level on a monthly recurring basis. Beyond the monthly programme fee, families should ask about a one-off registration fee, a refundable deposit (typically equivalent to one to two months' fees), and any costs for uniforms or personal accident insurance, which vary by centre. Childcare fees in Singapore are GST-exempt, so the monthly amount quoted should be the amount you pay. Before enrolment, request a full written fee schedule so there are no surprises after the settling-in period begins. See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →
Singapore citizen children enrolled at ECDA-licensed childcare centres may be eligible for the Basic Subsidy — up to S$600 per month for infant care or S$300 per month for childcare. Working mothers employed for at least 56 hours per month may qualify for the Additional Working Mother's Child Care Subsidy on top of this. Families with lower household incomes can also apply for the Additional Subsidy, which is income-tested and can bring the combined subsidy up to S$710 per month or more depending on circumstances. Permanent resident children are eligible for partial subsidies at lower quantum levels. Because subsidy amounts are reviewed periodically by ECDA, it is advisable to check the current figures directly on the ECDA website before making financial plans. Confirm with the centre whether it is ECDA-licensed and set up to administer these subsidies on your behalf.
Waitlists at popular childcare centres in Singapore can be significant, particularly for infant care places where demand routinely exceeds supply. As a general guide, families are advised to enquire three to twelve months ahead of their intended start date. January is the peak intake month, so competition for places ahead of the new year is especially high. To secure a slot, centres typically require payment of a registration fee and, upon confirmation, a deposit. Contact Raffles Kidz International directly by phone or through the enquiry form to ask about current availability for your child's age group and anticipated start month, as vacancy positions change frequently.
