Infant care centre in Singapore

As of end of 2016, there are 471 child care centres offering infant care service. This means that more than 1 out of 3 child care centres offering service to cater children that ages between 2 months and 18 months. Sengkang is the only housing estate with more than 30 infant care centre.It is believed that more and more infant care centres will be set up in Punggol-a booming new town with many young parents.

Infant care services is not cheap because it is labor intensive as these children will probably need attention as long as they are awake.

Of course, most of the time, they sleep as that is the only job that most babies will need to do. One parent even say that my child is just sleeping in the infant care centre and play with us at home.

This does not mean the child care teachers do not need to do anything. In fact, they need to feed these children often as the tiny stomach cannot store a lot of nutrition and therefore need to be fed more often. 

Furthermore, they are unable to use toilet. Hence, teachers will also be busy changing diaper each day. 

Most of the time, infant care service will cost parents more than 1,300 a month. However, this is far less than the average income that many mummies can earn now. According to latest data by the government authority, the median fee for infant care service is 1357 and the average is 1477. It should be noted that these fee is still high as some mummies may not earn more than 2000 a month.
