Y.W.C.A. Preschool is a childcare and kindergarten provider operating in Singapore, listed under the Preschools/Kindergarten subcategory. The centre is KakiList-verified and ACRA-registered, and holds a Google rating of 4.6 out of 5, though this is based on 12 reviews and should be treated as directional rather than conclusive. The centre is located at 7 McNair Road, Block 124, and fees are positioned at the mid-range ($$) level for the Singapore childcare market.
Families considering Y.W.C.A. Preschool are encouraged to enquire about slot availability for their intended start month, as spaces — particularly for younger age groups — can fill well in advance. When you contact the centre, ask about the infant-to-caregiver ratio, the daily routine and curriculum approach, and the settling-in process for new children. It is also worth confirming whether the centre is ECDA-approved, as this determines eligibility for government subsidies available to Singapore citizen families.
To take the next step, use the phone or enquiry form on the listing to ask about current vacancies for your child's age group and to arrange a centre visit. Seeing the environment, meeting the lead teacher, and reviewing the parent contract before signing will help you make a fully informed decision.

This is a very good school with independent buildings and a yard. The teachers are highly qualified, and the classmates are very friendly. My son has developmental delays, and he started K2 here. At first, he couldn’t understand English at all, but now he can read simple picture books and recognize some Chinese characters. Additionally, a special education teacher comes every month to help.

In the beginning, we were apprehensive about sending my kids to school (18m old at that time). However, our worry proved to be unfounded. Their playgroup teachers have demonstrated professionalism right from the start, offering positiveness, kindness and have been very easy to communicate with them. My kids settled in quickly which was a clear sign to us. That said, their teachers are also equipped with excellent teaching capabilities, evidenced by our observation of vast improvement in my kids English and Mandarin vocabularies as well as social skills. Love this school 😍

My kid spent 5 years in YWCA McNair from PG to K2. It's a cozy preschool with kind teachers. The facilities are great yet the school fee is low. They don't have fancy programmes but the teachers made a lot of efforts on my child's development in terms of motor skills, language & literacy and personality. He did many creative art & craft independently at home using the skills learned from school. The kids in his class are all kind and friendly to each other, and they love to play together after school. Love YWCA McNair.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does "Y.W.C.A. Preschool" charge per month?›
Y.W.C.A. Preschool is priced at the mid-range ($$) level for Singapore's childcare and kindergarten sector. Published monthly fees for childcare centres in Singapore typically range from around S$1,200 to S$2,000 before subsidies, depending on the age group and programme. Contact the centre directly to confirm the current fee schedule for your child's age group. In addition to the monthly fee, families should ask about a one-off registration fee, a deposit (commonly equivalent to one to two months' fees), as well as uniform and personal insurance costs. Childcare fees in Singapore are GST-exempt, so no GST should be added to your invoice. See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →
What subsidies can I claim at "Y.W.C.A. Preschool"?›
Singapore citizen children enrolled at an ECDA-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 also qualify for the Additional Working Mother Child Care Subsidy on top of the Basic Subsidy. For lower-income households, the Additional Subsidy (income-tested) can bring the combined subsidy amount up to S$710 per month. Kindergarten programmes may be eligible for the KiFAS (Kindergarten Fee Assistance Scheme) instead. Singapore Permanent Residents receive partial subsidies at a lower quantum. Subsidy amounts and eligibility criteria are reviewed periodically by ECDA. Always check the ECDA website directly for the most current figures before making financial plans.
Is there a waitlist at "Y.W.C.A. Preschool"?›
Demand for quality preschool and childcare places in Singapore means popular centres can have waitlists, particularly for infant care and the younger toddler age bands. As a general rule, families are advised to enquire three to twelve months ahead of their intended start date, and even earlier for infant care places. January is the peak intake month aligned to the school calendar, so slots for that cohort tend to be secured earliest. To reserve a place, most centres require payment of a registration fee and a deposit. Contact Y.W.C.A. Preschool directly by phone or through the enquiry form to check current availability for your child's age group and intended start month.
