About Small Wonder Preschool
Small Wonder Preschool is a playgroup and childcare provider located at 170 Upper Bukit Timah Road, B2-19 Shopping Centre, Singapore 588179. The centre is KakiList verified and ACRA registered, with a Google rating of 5 out of 5, though this is based on only 2 reviews and should be treated as directional rather than conclusive. Monthly fees are priced at the mid-range ($$) tier, and fees for childcare are GST-exempt.
Families considering enrolment would typically begin by contacting Small Wonder Preschool to enquire about available slots for their intended start month, as places — particularly for younger age groups — can fill quickly. A centre visit is strongly recommended so that parents can observe the physical environment, speak with the lead teacher, and ask about the infant-to-caregiver ratio, daily routine, and settling-in arrangements. Parents of Singapore citizen children should also enquire about ECDA subsidy eligibility, which can meaningfully reduce the monthly out-of-pocket cost.
The most direct next step is to reach out via phone or the enquiry form on the listing to confirm current availability, request a fee schedule, and arrange a visit to the centre. Listing data is incomplete — contact Small Wonder Preschool directly to confirm details.
Visit the centre in person, meet the lead teacher, and read the parent contract before signing.

Small Wonder Preschool is priced at the mid-range ($$) tier for its playgroup programme. Beyond the monthly fee itself, parents should ask about the one-time registration fee, a refundable deposit (typically equivalent to one to two months of fees), and any charges for uniform, insurance, or miscellaneous consumables. Childcare and playgroup fees in Singapore are GST-exempt, so the monthly figure quoted should reflect your actual payment. To get an exact fee breakdown for your child's age group and session type, contact the centre directly via phone or the enquiry form. 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, or up to S$300 per month for childcare), which is automatically applied based on citizenship status. Working mothers who are employed for at least 56 hours per month may additionally qualify for the Working Mother's Child Care Subsidy. Families with a gross monthly household income below S$12,000 may also apply for the Additional Subsidy, with combined support potentially reaching up to S$710 per month depending on income tier. Permanent resident children may qualify for partial subsidies, though at a lower quantum than citizens. Note that subsidy amounts and eligibility criteria are subject to revision — parents should refer directly to ECDA at ecda.gov.sg for the most current figures and to check whether Small Wonder Preschool is an ECDA-licensed centre eligible for these subsidies.
Demand for playgroup and childcare places in Singapore can be high, and popular centres often fill their intake months in advance. For infant care places in particular, it is not uncommon to enquire three to twelve months ahead of your intended start date. The January school intake tends to see the highest demand, so families targeting that period should act early. To secure a place, centres typically require a completed registration form along with a registration fee and deposit. Contact Small Wonder Preschool directly via phone or the enquiry form to ask about current availability for your child's age group and preferred start month, and to understand their specific registration process.
