About Tanglin Trust School
Tanglin Trust School offers playgroup provision at its centre on Portsdown Road, Singapore 139299, and is listed as islandwide in coverage. The listing is KakiList verified and cross-checked against the ACRA business registry. No Google reviews are currently available for this listing, so independent rating data cannot be cited at this time. Fees are charged on a monthly recurring basis at a mid-range price point ($$).
Families considering a place are encouraged to enquire about slot availability for their intended start month as early as possible, particularly for playgroup intake. When you make contact, ask about the daily routine, the child-to-educator ratio, and the settling-in approach the school uses to help young children transition. It is also worth clarifying what documentation is required at enrolment and whether ECDA subsidies apply to your child's nationality and household circumstances.
The best immediate step is to reach out via phone or the online enquiry form to confirm current availability, arrange a centre visit, and request the full fee schedule before making any commitment. Listing data is incomplete — contact Tanglin Trust School directly to confirm details.

Tanglin Trust School operates on a monthly recurring fee model, indicated at a mid-range ($$) price point. Beyond the monthly tuition fee, it is common for childcare and playgroup providers in Singapore to charge a one-off registration fee and a deposit equivalent to one or two months' fees, refundable subject to notice terms. You should also ask about any additional costs for uniforms, insurance, or enrichment activities included in the programme. Childcare fees in Singapore are GST-exempt, so the quoted monthly fee should represent your actual outgoing. Contact Tanglin Trust School directly to obtain the current full fee schedule before enrolment. See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →
Singapore citizen children enrolled in ECDA-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), administered by ECDA. Working mothers who clock 56 hours or more per month may also qualify for the Additional Working Mother's Child Care Subsidy. For lower-income households, the Additional Subsidy can bring total combined support up to S$710 per month, subject to per capita household income assessment. Permanent resident children may qualify for partial subsidies at a reduced rate. Subsidy eligibility depends on whether the centre holds the relevant ECDA licence — confirm this directly with Tanglin Trust School, as no regulatory licences are currently listed for this provider. Subsidy quantum is reviewed periodically, so always verify current figures with ECDA directly at go.gov.sg/ecda.
Demand for quality playgroup and childcare places in Singapore often exceeds supply, particularly for January intake, which is the primary enrolment period. For popular programmes, it is advisable to enquire at least three to six months ahead of your intended start date, and in some cases even earlier. To register your interest and secure a place, providers typically require payment of a registration fee and, upon offer of a place, a deposit. Contact Tanglin Trust School directly via phone or the enquiry form to ask about current availability for your child's age group and preferred start month, and confirm what is needed to hold a spot.
