The Growing Academy receives consistent praise for personalized teacher support and developmental progress in children with special needs. Parents specifically noted improvements in speech, language, behavior, and communication skills, with teachers like Teacher Ling providing engaging instruction and patient, tailored assistance through shadow support. The program offers varied experiences including half-day sessions, after-school care, and overnight holiday camps that build children's independence and social confidence.

I highly recommend The Growing Academy! They did a fantastic job with my son, Caleb, and we really appreciate the care and guidance from the teachers. A special shoutout to Teacher Ling—she has been wonderful and truly makes learning engaging and supportive. We are enrolled in the half-day daily programme, and it has been a great experience. My son is happier, learning well, and developing important skills in a nurturing environment. If you’re looking for a good programme with dedicated educators, I definitely recommend The Growing Academy.

The Growing Academy (TGA) helps kids with all sorts of special needs. Our son has been attending after school care at TGA this year, and he was more than happier. Recently the child had attended the 2 days camp during school holiday, it was pleasant experience for kids to gain more independence and have plenty fun opportunities. The teachers are patient and dedicated, taking the time to explain school home work too. There’s noticeable improvement of child’s behavior and he's gained much confidence in his social skills with peers. A safe and conducive environment for the child is highly important. Highly recommended for after school care ctr!

This 2D1N school holiday camp ( 11-12Sep 25） from Upper Paya outlet has been such a wonderful and meaningful experience for my son. It gave him the opportunity to try things he’s never done before — from enjoying a campfire and BBQ dinner to watching a late-night movie surrounded by a big group of friends. It was not just fun, but also a great way for him to build independence, social confidence, and unforgettable memories. I'm truly grateful to the school and teachers for organizing such a well-rounded and enriching camp experience.

The teachers and therapists from TGA have very good ability to connect with my child. The progress we've seen in my child's speech and language skills is truly remarkable. The shadow teacher has been an invaluable support in the classroom, providing tailored assistance to ensure my child can fully participate and thrive alongside the peers. I'm incredibly grateful for their patience, creativity, and unwavering support to have made a significant difference in my child’s daily preschool life.

We have been in TGA for over a year now, and I'm glad to say I do see improvement in my son's behaviour and communication skills. He is now much more expressive and is very happy to go to school. (A huge difference, as compared the experience with his previous schools). Everyday after school, he would share with me excitedly what did he do in school and always looks forward to the next schooling day. The teachers there provided daily and timely updates on he learned and did in school. As well as highlighted any areas which requires more attention. Communication with the teachers are done via the app and they do response pretty promptly too. Heartfelt thank you to all the teachers in TGA for taking care and loving my boy!

How much does "The Growing Academy" charge per month?›

The Growing Academy operates on a monthly recurring fee model at a mid-range price point. Exact figures are not publicly listed, so you will need to contact them directly for a current fee schedule. Beyond the monthly fee, families should ask about a one-time registration fee and a refundable deposit, which at many playgroups amounts to one to two months of fees. Enquire also about any uniform or insurance charges, as these are common additional costs. Childcare and playgroup fees in Singapore are GST-exempt, so no GST should be added to your invoice.

What subsidies can I claim at "The Growing Academy"?›

Singapore citizen children enrolled at ECDA-licensed childcare and playgroup centres may be eligible for the Basic Subsidy — up to S$300 per month for childcare, with higher quantum for infant care. Working mothers employed for at least 56 hours per month may additionally qualify for the Working Mother's Child Care Subsidy. Families with lower household incomes may receive the Additional Subsidy, which can bring combined subsidy support to as much as S$710 per month depending on income tier. Permanent resident children are eligible for partial subsidies at lower quantum. Subsidy amounts are reviewed periodically by ECDA, so it is advisable to check the ECDA website directly for the most current figures before making enrolment decisions. Note that The Growing Academy does not currently list an ECDA licence in its regulatory details. Confirm with the centre directly whether it is ECDA-licensed, as subsidy eligibility depends on this.

Is there a waitlist at "The Growing Academy"?›

Demand for playgroup and childcare places in Singapore can be strong, particularly for the January intake which aligns with the start of the school year. Popular centres often see enquiries placed three to twelve months ahead of the desired start date, with infant care spots filling earliest. To secure a place, centres typically require payment of a registration fee and deposit. It is worth contacting The Growing Academy as early as possible to understand current availability and what is needed to reserve a spot for your child. Reach out via WhatsApp, phone, or the online enquiry form to ask about vacancies for your intended start month.
