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
Families begin by contacting the school through the online “Register Your Interest” form or by signing up for a school tour/open house. This step allows parents to indicate their child’s age, the programme they are considering (Infant or Preschool), and their preferred campus. The school uses this as the starting point for communication with prospective families.
2. Programme discussion and placement
Following the enquiry, parents are provided with information about available programmes. Children’s Cove highlights age-based stages such as Infant Care, Pre-Nursery, Nursery, and Kindergarten. The website does not specify whether assessments or interviews are conducted at this stage.
3. Application and confirmation of interest
Parents formally submit their child’s details through the same online form, and staff follow up with the next steps. The site does not outline required documentation (such as birth certificates or medical forms), deposits, or deadlines.
4. Offer and enrolment
Details about the offer process, enrolment confirmation, or fee payment are not published on the website. No timeline or deposit requirements are provided. Families are expected to confirm directly with the school.
The school does not publicly disclose information about operating a waitlist or pool system.
The school does not publicly disclose information about offering scholarships.
Children’s Cove (founded 2010) operates preschools in Singapore and describes the Amoy centre as being in the “cultural nook of Amoy Street.” The group’s proprietary Building Blocks™ curriculum covers language and literacy, numeracy, discovery of the world, social-emotional learning, motor skills, and aesthetics/creative expression. Learning is supported by Exploration Zones™, including initiatives such as Makers Lab (hands-on exploration of science, light, and architecture) and literacy projects like Wordless Wonders (an ECDA Innovation-Grant project). The programme is bilingual, with English–Chinese immersion described in early years stages. Ages served across the group range from 2 months to 6 years, with published teacher-child ratios from 1:3 (Infant) to 1:12 (K2). Campus pages highlight outdoor learning spaces and creative ateliers; however, the Amoy page on the official site provides limited campus-specific operational details.
