Child Care Centres provide full day and half-day care programmes to children below the age of 7 years. In addition to providing working parents with reliable care services, child care centres have programmes aimed at educating and developing pre-school children through effective early childhood education programmes in a safe and conducive environment.

The Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) serves as the regulatory and developmental agency for the early childhood sector in Singapore, overseeing key aspects of children’s development below the age of 7, across both kindergartens and child care centres.
