Kindergartens in Bukit Timah

Bukit Timah is one of the few area in which you cannot find public housing. Yes, it is a place where the riches live. This is probably one of the reasons why the school fee in the kindergartens in this area is generally much higher than many other areas in Singapore.

PCF-operated kindergarten is usually located in public housing area, this is why you can only find 1 PCF kindergarten in this area.

One thing I dislike about the education (including pre-school) system in Singapore is the nepotism-like system in school admission for both pre-school institution and primary school. This system gives admission priority for those kids whose father, or mother, or brothers have studies in the school before. In some of the kindergartens in this area, this priority is extended to even more groups which has some kind of association with the kindergartens.

You can refer to Kindergartens in Bukit Timah for more information such as school fee, detailed contact of the kindergartens in this area.

There are altogether 13 kindergartens in Bukit Batok, a booming town in west part of Singapore.

8 of these kindergartens, which accounted for more half of the kindergartens in the area, are operated by PCF. One of the most important feature of the kindergartens operated by PCF is that the fee charged is usually the lowest in the town.

Although PCF kindergartens have the same name, but the fee charged vary from kindergarten to kindergartens. In the example of Bukit Batok, most of the kindergartens operated by PCF charge a fee of $118 for Kindergarten 2, but there is one or two charge a fee of $130 for the same level.

Kindergartens in Bedok, Singapore

Bedok is a mature housing estate in Singapore. This probably explain why it has a relatively large number of kindergartens in this area. In total, there are 32 kindergartens in this area.

Out of the 32 kindergartens in this area, 13 are operated by the PCF(PAP community foundation). 

It is a bit surprise for me to see so many kindergartens in this area as Bedok is a relatively old housing area with a large number of elderly living there. This means that the population of small kids in this area should be small. 
As expected, the school fee per term charged by the kindergartens for different levels varies from kindergarten to kindergarten. The lowest charge is by the PCF kindergartens where the fee for a term is about less than 200. The highest fee charged is by some private kindergartens in which they charge fee as high as 500 for a term.
