The most wonderful preschool ever! This is the third year our children are in St James', and we couldn't love it more. It is truly like one big family - the kids call their teachers "Auntie" :) The principal, teachers and staff are phenomenal! Gentle, nurturing and with a genuine heart of love for the children. You can really tell that they view teaching as a calling to shape young hearts and minds, rather than just as a job. The school places a strong emphasis on inculcating good character and values, and the entire team really leads by example. The teachers are dynamic, energetic and extremely creative in their pedagogical approach. We love that they have many student-led projects (known as Topics of Inquiry) that stretch the children's imaginations and allow the little ones to initiate and execute their original designs. The school was just renovated at the end of 2024, resulting in bright, cheerful and airy classrooms with lots of space. We love the spacious outdoor plaza area which is home to hours of fun and games, as well as the light room and music room which are fun centers for exploration. Most importantly, all our kids absolutely love their teachers and are so happy going to school each day. A big thank you to the entire St James team - we love you and are so grateful for you!

My son started his N2 journey at the beginning of the year. Having put him to 3 schools, cos we moved house, I got a chance to see the differences in teaching in the 3 schools. For SJC little seeds, it is the best choice as the teachers are very caring and passionate about nurturing the children. In short 5 months, I could see the growth in my son, becoming more independent.

LSP (St James) is a wonderful place for children to spend their preschool years. The school campus has been revamped and has a brighter, more open space for children to play and learn. Our children have been blessed to learn under teachers who genuinely care and love the children. The school focusses on values-based learning. We particularly liked the creative methods adopted by the school to introduce primary school to them.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does "St James Church Kindergarten" charge per month?›
St James Church Kindergarten is priced at the mid-range ($$) tier for Singapore preschools and kindergartens. Beyond the monthly fee itself, families should ask about the one-time registration fee, a deposit (typically equivalent to one to two months' fees), as well as any uniform or personal accident insurance charges. Childcare and kindergarten fees are GST-exempt in Singapore, so the quoted monthly figure should be the amount payable. For a precise breakdown, contact the centre directly, as fees can vary by programme level (Nursery, Kindergarten 1, Kindergarten 2) and session type (half-day versus full-day). See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →
What subsidies can I claim at "St James Church Kindergarten"?›
Singapore citizen children enrolled at ECDA-licensed centres may qualify for the Basic Subsidy (up to S$300 per month for childcare) and the Additional Subsidy, which is income-tested and can bring combined support up to S$710 per month. Working mothers employed for at least 56 hours per month may also access the Working Mother's Subsidy on top of the Basic Subsidy. For kindergarten programmes, the KiFAS (Kindergarten Fee Assistance Scheme) provides means-tested assistance. Permanent resident children are eligible for partial subsidies at lower quantum levels. Subsidy amounts and eligibility criteria are reviewed periodically, so always confirm current figures directly with ECDA at www.ecda.gov.sg before making enrolment decisions.
Is there a waitlist at "St James Church Kindergarten"?›
Demand for places at established preschools and kindergartens in Singapore, particularly in sought-after residential areas, can be brisk. It is generally advisable to enquire three to six months before your intended start date, and as much as twelve months ahead for infant care vacancies. The primary intake month in Singapore is January, so families targeting the start of the calendar year should plan accordingly. To secure a place, centres typically require payment of a registration fee and deposit. Contact St James Church Kindergarten directly by phone or via their enquiry form to ask about current availability for your child's age group and preferred start month.
