Mid-afternoon meals to keep hunger at bay
Older infants have tea breaks or snacks while younger infants receive milk feeds, ensuring they get much-needed nutrients and stay focused in school.
The soundtrack to your child's development
Music helps to build language, cognitive, and gross motor skills in a fun, entertaining way. That's why children have big smiles on their faces whenever our teachers sing our in-house songs to them.

What are infant care services, and how do they differ from other early childcare services?
Infant care services are specially designed to support the development and well-being of children aged 2 to 18 months. Unlike preschool programmes for older children, infant care focuses on nurturing foundational skills, building secure attachments, developing self-expression, and supporting your child’s learning during the earliest years of life.
At My First Skool, we ensure that each infant receives personalised attention in a safe, responsive environment led by trained early childhood professionals who are constantly involved in your child’s learning journey.
When can my child start attending an infant care centre in Singapore?
Eligible children for infant care services include those aged 2 months or older.
At My First Skool, our infant care programme is tailored for babies aged 2 to 18 months. After that, they transition into our playgroup and preschool levels as part of our early years continuum.
What are the benefits of enrolling my baby in infant care?
Infant care provides a structured environment encouraging healthy routines, motor skill development, language exposure, nurturing creativity, and promoting social-emotional growth, all at their own pace.
Enrolling your baby in a trusted childcare centre like My First Skool also gives parents peace of mind with professional caregiving and regular developmental updates that support your child’s learning and well-being, establishing a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
Are there any childcare subsidies for infant care in Singapore?
Yes, Singapore citizen children enrolled in infant care services at licensed childcare centres like My First Skool are eligible for a basic government infant care subsidy and possibly higher subsidies depending on certain factors. This subsidy helps reduce monthly fees and is automatically applied if both parents are working (or a single working parent). The basic subsidy for infant care is currently up to $600 per month.
Can I apply for an additional subsidy for infant care in Singapore?
Yes, families may be eligible to receive higher subsidies on top of the basic subsidy based on household income and working hours. This can further reduce your out-of-pocket fees. At My First Skool, our staff can guide you through the application process for childcare subsidies to ensure your family gets the support it needs.
How are infant care centres at My First Skool different from other schools?
As one of Singapore’s most established names in early childhood education, My First Skool offers a holistic infant care experience built on research-backed practices, with fun lessons that engage them cognitively.
Our infant care centres focus on caregiving and supporting each baby’s emotional security and learning needs. Our learning environments are thoughtfully designed, and our in-house teachers are trained to understand the unique needs of children under 2 years old.
How do I choose the right infant care centre in Singapore?
When selecting an infant care centre, consider location, teacher-to-child ratios, curriculum, safety, and reputation. Visiting the childcare centre, speaking to educators, and understanding how they support your child’s learning in the early years can help you make the right choice.
At My First Skool, we welcome parents to schedule a tour and experience our nurturing environment first-hand.
What types of infant care services does My First Skool offer?
My First Skool offers flexible infant care services to suit different family needs. Parents can choose between full-day infant care or half-day options at our various centres. Our programmes are thoughtfully designed to support your child’s learning and development during the crucial early years, whether you require care for the entire workday or just part of it. As a trusted childcare centre, we’re committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for every child.
What other services does My First Skool offer as part of its infant care programme?
Beyond quality infant care services, My First Skool provides a holistic experience that nurtures every aspect of your baby’s development. Our infant care centres offer enriching activities such as sensory play, infant-friendly music and movement classes, and storytelling sessions to support your child’s learning and literacy during the early years.
Nutritious meals prepared under health and dietary guidelines are also included. Daily routines focus on emotional security, physical development, and gentle stimulation, all in a safe and caring childcare centre environment designed for children under 2 years old.
Does My First Skool transition smoothly from infant care to Nursery and Kindergarten?
Yes, My First Skool is committed to ensuring a seamless transition from infant care to Nursery and Kindergarten. Our centres follow a structured yet nurturing approach that supports your child’s future through every stage of their early years.
As your child grows beyond 18 months old, they can move naturally into our Playgroup, Nursery, and Kindergarten programmes—all within the same trusted childcare centre environment. This continuity supports consistent routine and habits, emotional security, and steady progress in your child’s learning, guided by experienced early childhood educators, resulting in a healthy outcome from their early childhood journey.
