Childcare centres provide full day and half-day care programmes to children
below the age of 7 years. Some centres offer flexible childcare programmes to
cater to the diverse work arrangements of parents who work part-time of
flexible hours.
Childcare programmes offer a holistic learning experience for children.
Childcare centres and parents work together as partners to optimise

For children aged between 2 months to 18 months, there are childcare centres
that provide special services for infants and toddlers - both full- and half-day
care programs are available.
As a reliable care option, centre-based infant care providers strive to meet
and develop the physical, cognitive and psychosocial needs of the infant in a
safe and favourable environment.
Staff have specialised training to work with infants. Each infant care centre
is also required to employ a state registered nurse or qualified infant care
teacher to attend to the health and safety requirements of the infants.
The Ministry regulates and licenses childcare programmes through the Child
Care Centres Act and Regulations, and governs childcare programmes
incorporating infant care services.
Childcare centres providing infant care services are required to comply
with other requirements as specified in the guideline.

Once your children enter primary school, you can consider the option of
entrusting them to a professional at a Student Care Centre. These centres
provide care and activities to enhance your children's physical,
intellectual, emotional, social and moral development. At the centre,
your children will enjoy play, enrichment and recreational activities.
Parents can rest assured that the programmes also cater for supervision
of your children's homework.
No particular centre is recommended by the Ministry, so parents are advised
to check with the individual centres thoroughly before making their selection.

The Family Day Care Service is a more formalised version of the conventional
nanny and baby-sitting services. It provides working parents with an
alternative child care option in the form of home-based care by caregivers.
This Service is suitable especially for infants and toddlers who require
greater individual care and attention. Other than regular day care, the Service
also provides care for children on an occasional basis. This flexible
care arrangement allows parents to work out mutually acceptable arrangements
with the caregiver.
MCYS promotes and facilitates the implementation of the Service at community
level through selected child care centres. These centres coordinate training
for the caregivers and match them with parents who need their services.
