Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Initial enquiry and school tour: Parents are encouraged to contact the campus directly to arrange a school tour. The website provides an online enquiry form where families can select the Hillview campus and book a visit with staff. This is typically the first step to learn more about the curriculum, facilities, and availability.
2. Campus follow-up: After the tour, parents may follow up directly with the Hillview campus via email or phone. Staff provide details on enrolment requirements, including programme options (full-day or half-day). The website directs all fee-related and enrolment questions to the individual campus.
3. Application submission: While the website does not display downloadable application forms, parents are expected to submit application details to the campus. The admissions team provides the necessary documents and instructions after an enquiry.
4. Confirmation of placement: The website does not specify assessment or selection criteria. Placement confirmation, along with fee structure and payment details, is handled directly by the campus after an application has been processed.

ChildFirst @ Hillview opened in March 2024 at 63 Hillview Ave, a short walk from Hillview MRT (Exit B). The school delivers a bespoke iUnique curriculum that blends Human Intelligence (HI), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Multiple Intelligences (MI) with a trilingual approach—English, Chinese and Coding—from the early years. Children encounter computational thinking, coding and robotics as part of daily learning, alongside language development supported by in-house AI tools such as AI Chinese and AI Maths. Facilities highlighted across the group include digital learning spaces and activity areas for sensory play. A distinctive feature is ChildFirst’s positioning as a trilingual preschool: “a first for any preschool in Singapore”, with equal emphasis on the three strands and nearby transport access for families. School operating hours run 7:00am–7:00pm for full-day care, with half-day options.
