About Singapore American School
Singapore American School is listed on KakiList under Preschools and Kindergarten, operating from its centre at 40 Woodlands Street 41. The listing is KakiList verified and ACRA registered. No Google reviews are currently available for this listing, so independent rating signals cannot be assessed at this stage. The school is priced at the mid-range tier for its category.
Families considering a place for their child are encouraged to enquire about slot availability for their intended start month as early as possible, particularly for infant care places, which tend to fill well in advance. When you make contact, ask about the infant-to-caregiver ratio, the structure of the daily routine, and what the settling-in period looks like for new enrolments. It is also worth clarifying whether Singapore citizen children at this centre are eligible for ECDA subsidies, and requesting a centre visit so you can meet the lead teacher and observe the environment before committing.
To take the next step, use the phone or enquiry form contact options to ask about current vacancy for your child's age group and to arrange a visit to the Woodlands centre. Listing data is incomplete — contact Singapore American School directly to confirm details.
Visit the centre in person, meet the lead teacher, and read the parent contract before signing.

Monthly fees at preschools and kindergartens in Singapore vary depending on the programme, the child's age group, and whether the centre is an MOE kindergarten, an ECDA-licensed private centre, or an international school. You should ask Singapore American School directly for their current fee schedule, as fees are not published in this listing. Beyond the monthly fee, factor in a one-off registration fee, a deposit (typically equivalent to one to two months' fees), and any costs for uniforms or personal accident insurance. Childcare and kindergarten fees at ECDA-licensed centres are GST-exempt, though you should confirm the centre's GST treatment directly. See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →
Subsidy eligibility depends on whether the centre is ECDA-licensed and whether your child holds Singapore citizenship. At ECDA-licensed centres, Singapore citizen children may qualify for the Basic Subsidy (up to S$600 per month for infant care, or S$300 per month for childcare), and working mothers employed for at least 56 hours per month may access the Additional Working Mother's Child Care Subsidy. An Additional Subsidy of up to S$710 per month (combined with other subsidies) is available for lower-income families on an income-tested basis. KiFAS applies specifically to MOE and ECDA-licensed kindergartens. Permanent resident children are eligible for partial subsidies. As subsidy amounts and qualifying criteria are updated periodically, visit the ECDA website directly for the current figures and to confirm whether Singapore American School participates in the subsidy scheme.
Popular preschools and kindergartens in Singapore, particularly those with an international curriculum, often have limited places and can fill months in advance. For infant care specifically, families are generally advised to enquire six to twelve months before the intended start date. January is the peak intake month for most programmes aligned to the Singapore academic calendar. To secure a place, you will typically need to pay a registration fee and, upon acceptance, a deposit. Contact Singapore American School directly using the phone or enquiry form to ask about current availability for your child's intended start month and age group, as waitlist positions and intake timelines will vary.
