Likely legitimate

The Schoolhouse by Busy Bees maintains consistent teacher continuity, with caregivers like Ms Yiwen and Lang Laoshi providing sustained guidance that reviewers credit with supporting language development and emotional growth. Parents highlight the school's extensive facilities—including a garden, swimming pool, and nearby park—alongside an engaging curriculum that incorporates diverse activities and regular parent involvement. The staff reportedly greets children warmly each day and demonstrates care beyond standard educational duties, with children showing enthusiasm for attending school.

Our daughter has been with The Schoolhouse by Mount Emily since she was just 2 years old, and watching her grow in this nurturing environment has been one of the greatest joys of our parenting journey. Her form teachers, Ms Yiwen and Lang Laoshi, have played a huge role in helping our daughter truly bloom. They have remained a constant thoughout and with their guidance, she now speaks English confidently and beautifully thanks to Ms Yiwen, and her love for Mandarin is all thanks to Lang Laoshi’s fun, engaging lessons. They’ve both made learning a joy. The school’s play-based curriculum is thoughtful and enriching, with a focus on emotional development and early STEM activities. Direct access to Mount Emily Park means plenty of outdoor exploration and time in nature, something we deeply value. Each term includes exciting excursions, and the recent Family Day was such a well-run, heartwarming event that brought the whole community together. We also appreciate how constructive and honest the parent-teacher feedback is during each conference. It’s helped us navigate the different developmental stages with greater understanding and confidence. A special mention must go to Ms JiaFeng, the hardworking and hands-on principal who always ensures that the children’s well-being comes first. It will be a bittersweet moment when our daughter graduates from The Schoolhouse. This place has been such a big part of her early years, and we’re endlessly grateful. We cannot recommend it highly enough to any parent seeking a warm, balanced, and nature-rich start for their little one.

I absolutely love this school. The facilities are a dream (garden to learn about the nature, pool for water play, parc nearby, ...); the staff is lovely and caring; the curriculum is engaging, diverse and fun. They organise a lot of activities for the kids and involve the parents. I can only recommend it.

Your child will have a fantastic time at Pat's Mount Emily. Our experience with both kids has been incredible. The management and teachers are always welcoming the kids with a heartedly smile and make their best efforts not only to educate and care for the kids but also offer kindness above and beyond their scope of work. The school has many unique facilities that add up to the excitement at school; the veggie garden, sandpit, pool, in-house kitchen, live animal tank etc. You can expect a perfect mix of outdoor and indoor activities for your child that is filled with joy and learning opportunities.

My 3 kids loved the time 🕰️ in school and asked to be in school 🏫 early indicated the teachers are doing things right. Many thanks 🙏 teachers 👨‍🏫

What subsidies can I claim at "The Schoolhouse by Busy Bees"?›

Singapore citizen children enrolled in a licensed childcare centre may be eligible for the Basic Subsidy — up to S$600 per month for infant care and up to S$300 per month for childcare. Working mothers employed for at least 56 hours per month may qualify for the additional Working Mother's Child Relief (WMS), which further reduces out-of-pocket costs. Families with a gross monthly household income at or below qualifying thresholds may also access the Additional Subsidy, which can bring total combined subsidy to up to S$710 per month. Kindergarten Fee Assistance (KiFAS) applies separately to MOE kindergartens and may not apply here — confirm the programme type directly. Permanent Resident children are eligible for partial subsidies only. Subsidy amounts and income thresholds are subject to change; always verify current figures with ECDA at ecda.gov.sg before making financial plans.

Is there a waitlist at "The Schoolhouse by Busy Bees"?›

Waitlists at established preschool centres in Singapore are common, particularly for infant care places where caregiver-to-child ratios are lower and spaces are more limited. For popular centres, families are advised to enquire three to twelve months ahead of the intended start date. January is the peak intake month aligned with the school calendar year, making it especially competitive. To secure a place, most centres require payment of a registration fee and a deposit. Contact The Schoolhouse by Busy Bees directly via phone or their enquiry form to check current availability for your child's age group and intended start month, and to understand what is required to reserve a slot.
