Families interested in a place should begin by enquiring about slot availability for their intended start month, as childcare vacancies — particularly for younger age groups — can be limited. When you make contact by phone or via the enquiry form, ask about the infant-to-caregiver ratio for your child's age band, the structure of the daily routine, and the length of the settling-in period. It is also worth confirming whether the centre participates in ECDA subsidy schemes, which can meaningfully reduce monthly fees for eligible Singapore citizen children.
To move forward, call or submit the online enquiry form to ask about current availability and to arrange a centre visit. Seeing the environment in person and meeting the lead teacher before signing any enrolment agreement is strongly recommended.
Visit the centre in person, meet the lead teacher, and read the parent contract before signing.

We are extremely happy with our decision to send our son to TwinkleKidz@Bendemeer. The entire experience, from the seamless enrolment to his daily classroom environment, has been exceptional. The teachers (childcare and EI) are truly passionate, skilled and enjoy what they do. They immediately made our son feel welcome, taking time to know his needs and providing consistent, warm updates via the app and at pick-up. We are so impressed with the holistic curriculum, which perfectly balances academics, creativity, and play. Our son comes home buzzing with new words and confidence, showing significant progress in communication and language. Even the yearend concert is a highlight he enthusiastically participates in! Our sincere thanks to the entire team at TwinkleKidz@Bendemeer including the principal, teaching staff, admin and support staff (including the cooks!) for creating such an exceptional, nurturing, and eventful environment. You are SUPERSTARS!
We transferred our children to TwinkleKidz Bendemeer mainly because of their EIPIC program. No regrets at all. Both their childcare and EIPIC teachers were awesome. We can feel that the teachers are there with a heart, they sincerely care for the children. Not to mention, the teachers made the effort to plan many learning journeys, library trips (almost every month). During these past 2 years, both my kids have blossomed under your care. We really appreciate it. Thank you TwinkleKidz!
Caring and engaging teachers, supportive and positive principal, organised and passionate staff. Thank you for taking care and creating such a positive learning environment for my boys to thrive and be ready for primary school. We made the switch from another school and it was one of the the best decisions made. The kids also built a lasting and meaningful friendship among themselves. I continue to highly recommend twinklekidz to friends and family and hope that other parents will send their kids there too.
Twinklekidz infant care (teachers Priscilla, Shumin, Jia, Jia Jia, Chang) and PG (Sing Mei, Salleha) were amazing. The teachers - including those from other classes - were the most caring and kind, giving prompt updates and were transparent. We know because my child spoke about all her teachers with love at home. Nothing but good things to say about the school!
The teachers are wonderfully fun and engaging, and their patience in guiding the children shines through every day. Watching the kids perform so beautifully at the year-end concert was truly a heartfelt and amazing moment.

Twinkle Child Care and Development Centre displays a mid-range fee tier, though specific monthly figures are not published in this listing. For context, full-day childcare in Singapore typically runs from around S$1,200 to S$2,000 per month before subsidies, varying by age group and programme type. Kindergarten sessions are generally priced lower than full-day infant or childcare places. Beyond the monthly fee, ask the centre about the one-time registration fee, the deposit amount (commonly equivalent to one to two months of fees), and any additional costs such as uniform, insurance, or enrichment add-ons. Childcare fees in Singapore are GST-exempt, so no GST should be added to your invoice. See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →
Singapore citizen children attending an ECDA-licensed childcare centre 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 — regardless of household income. Working mothers who clock 56 hours or more of employment per month may additionally qualify for the Working Mother's Child Development Subsidy. For lower-income households, the Additional Subsidy can bring combined monthly support to up to S$710 or more depending on per capita household income. Permanent resident children are eligible for partial subsidies at lower quantum levels. Kindergarten programmes may qualify under KiFAS rather than the childcare subsidy framework. Subsidy rates are reviewed periodically, so contact ECDA directly or visit their website for the most current figures before making financial plans. Confirm with the centre that it is ECDA-licensed, as subsidy eligibility depends on the centre holding that licence.
Demand for childcare places in Singapore — especially infant care spots for children under 18 months — frequently outpaces supply, and popular centres can fill up six to twelve months in advance. Even for toddler and nursery places, enquiring at least three to six months before your intended start date is advisable. January is the peak intake month for most preschools and kindergartens aligned to the school calendar year. To secure a place, centres typically require payment of a registration fee and a deposit, which may be non-refundable if you subsequently withdraw. Contact Twinkle Child Care and Development Centre directly by phone or via the enquiry form to ask about current vacancies for your child's birth year and intended start month before committing any fees.
