About "YWCA Child Development Centre"
YWCA Child Development Centre is a KakiList-verified childcare and infant care provider located at Blk 44 Lor. 5 Toa Payoh, serving families across Singapore. The centre is listed at a mid-range price point ($$) on a monthly recurring fee basis. There is currently no Google rating on record for this listing, so independent reviews should be sought directly from the centre or other parent communities before making a decision.
Families interested in securing a place should enquire as early as possible about slot availability for their intended start month, particularly for infant care, which tends to fill quickly. When you contact the centre, ask about the infant-to-caregiver ratio, the daily routine, and the settling-in period so your child can adjust gradually. It is also worth discussing ECDA subsidies, which are available to eligible Singapore citizen families and can meaningfully reduce the monthly fee. Arrange a centre visit to meet the lead teachers and view the facilities before committing.

YWCA Child Development Centre is listed at a mid-range price point ($$) on a monthly recurring fee basis, though the exact published monthly rate is not confirmed in this listing. For infant care in Singapore, full-day fees at private and anchor operator centres typically range from around S$1,200 to S$2,500 per month before subsidies, depending on the operator type and programme. Beyond the monthly fee, you should ask about a one-time registration fee, a refundable deposit (commonly equivalent to two months' fees), and any charges for uniforms or group insurance. Childcare fees in Singapore are GST-exempt. Contact the centre directly to obtain the current fee schedule in writing before committing. See the full childcare cost guide for Singapore →
Singapore citizen children enrolled in a licensed infant care centre may qualify for the Basic Subsidy of up to S$600 per month for infant care. Working mothers who are employed for at least 56 hours per month may additionally claim the Working Mother's Child Care Subsidy (WMS). Families with a gross monthly household income below S$12,000 may be eligible for the Additional Subsidy, which can bring combined support to up to S$710 per month when combined with the WMS. Permanent resident children are eligible for a partial Basic Subsidy at a lower quantum. KiFAS applies specifically to kindergarten programmes, not infant care. Subsidy amounts are subject to change, and eligibility criteria are assessed by ECDA. You should verify the current figures and apply through the Child Care Link portal at the time of enrolment. Contact YWCA Child Development Centre directly to confirm which subsidy tiers apply to their programme and fee structure.
Infant care places in Singapore are in high demand, and popular centres — particularly those in mature estates such as Toa Payoh — often fill up several months in advance. It is generally advisable to enquire at least three to six months before your intended start date, with some families registering interest six to twelve months ahead for infant care specifically. January is the peak intake month across most centres, so families targeting a start in the new year should make contact by mid-year at the latest. To secure a place once offered, you will typically be required to pay a registration fee and deposit. Contact YWCA Child Development Centre by phone or via the enquiry form to ask about current vacancy, the registration process, and any waiting list procedures that may apply.
