Fee payment options
- Public fee summaries for the centres do not list a single publicised list of accepted payment methods. Common practice in Singapore preschools is to accept bank transfer, GIRO or card payments; parents should confirm the centre's available payment channels when arranging enrolment and finalising contracts.
Notes on subsidies and variability
- Government childcare subsidies may apply for eligible Singaporean children; subsidised amounts depend on household income and child eligibility and will change the net fees payable. Fees can vary slightly between Josiah centres and by programme (infant vs childcare vs kindergarten). Use the monthly figures above as the standard published levels and treat the annual and quarterly figures as arithmetic equivalents for budgeting.
No publicly published data on pupil nationality mix for the Alexandra campus. Josiah provides bilingual instruction in English and Mandarin.
