All parents with Singapore Citizen children enrolled in infant care and child care centres licensed by ECDA are eligible for a Basic Subsidy.
In addition, working families with monthly household incomes of $12,000 and below
are eligible for an Additional Subsidy, with lower-income families receiving higher subsidies. Larger families with 3 or more dependents can also choose to have their Additional Subsidy assessed on a per capita basis, which may
qualify them for higher subsidies.

Your child’s preschool fees can be paid using the Baby Bonus Child Development Account (CDA), if his/her preschool is a Baby Bonus Approved Institution (AI).
