Roots and Boots is listed at a mid-range price point ($$) for the Singapore preschool and kindergarten market. Specific monthly fee figures have not been published on this listing, so you will need to contact the centre directly for a current fee schedule. When you do enquire, ask about the one-time registration fee, the deposit required to secure a place (typically equivalent to one to two months of fees), and any costs for uniforms or personal accident insurance. Childcare and kindergarten fees in Singapore are GST-exempt, so the quoted monthly fee should be the amount you pay. See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →
Singapore citizen children enrolled in a licensed childcare 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 for eligible working mothers. Working mothers who clock at least 56 hours per month may also qualify for the Additional Working Mother's Child Care Subsidy, which provides further means-tested relief of up to S$710 per month when combined with other subsidies. For kindergarten programmes, the KiFAS scheme offers income-based fee assistance. Permanent resident children are eligible for partial subsidies at a lower quantum than citizens. Subsidy rates and income thresholds are reviewed periodically, so always check the ECDA website directly for the most current figures before making enrolment decisions. Note that subsidy eligibility is tied to the centre holding the relevant ECDA licence. Confirm the centre's licence status with ECDA directly before assuming subsidies will apply.
Popular preschools and kindergartens in Singapore often operate waitlists, particularly for infant care places and the primary one preparatory year. Families are generally advised to enquire between three and twelve months ahead of their intended start date, with January being the peak intake month for most centres. To secure a place, centres typically require payment of a registration fee and, once an offer is made, a deposit to confirm enrolment. These amounts vary by centre, so ask about the exact figures and the deposit refund policy when you first make contact. Contact Roots and Boots directly via phone or the online enquiry form to ask about current availability for your child's age group and preferred start month.
