Yes, we are licensed to run the centres by ECDA, the regulatory body for child care businesses in Singapore.
SPARK is a quality framework used to assess and award preschools, but it is not required by all preschools to undergo SPARK certification. Having a SPARK certification is not a mandatory process for all preschools in Singapore. A school can, however, voluntarily apply for SPARK certification. Our centres, although not all SPARK certified, already far exceeded SPARK requirements, i.e. teacher-student ratio, Montessori and project curriculum, learning environment, outdoor playground, and centre equipment. Our YCK centre is SPARK certified and we are undergoing certification for the rest of our centres.

Yes, foreigners relocating to Singapore may enrol their children at Raffles Kidz. If required, we will initiate the process with the Immigration and Checkpoint Authority of Singapore for the Student Pass application. Thereafter, a Registration Acknowledgement Letter will be emailed to the applicant for online application.

Admission process involves 3 basic steps:

  1. Book a school tour to find out if Raffles Kidz is the perfect fit for your child;
  2. Complete the registration by making a deposit equivalent to one-month school fees, paying the registration fee and submitting the enrolment form and required documents;
  3. Receive a welcome letter and invitation detailing things you need to prepare for your child’s first day in school.
    For more details, please contact us.
Enrolment is open all year round, depending on availability. Registration may be done up to 12 months before your child’s intended enrolment date.
We usually cap the size to about 20-plus children. We will always ensure, under any circumstances, that our teacher-student ratio is met.
When we have a higher capacity for enrolments, we will split classes and hire more teachers to manage the new classes. Once the maximum capacity of children has been enrolled, interested parents may put their child on a waitlist.
Yes, there is a waitlist for every centre. In order to be put on the official school waitlist, you will need to pay the waitlist fee. When an existing child withdraws, the school will contact the next parent on the waitlist. We will, however, give priority to siblings or enrolled students who have requested to commence school earlier. If you choose to reject a slot given to you within three months from your desired start date, the waitlist fee will be forfeited. If we are unable to offer you a slot within three months from your desired start date, we will refund the waitlist fee in full.
Yes, we provide breakfast, lunch and snacks. All our meals are prepared by our in-house chef who has undergone a basic food handling and hygiene course. We do not serve pork, lard, beef and nuts, and we try our best to source halal ingredients. We rotate our menu every quarter.
