Tuition fees (by programme / age group)

- Full‑day childcare (Infant/Toddler/Child): SGD 1,850 per month.
- Half‑day (AM/PM) programme: SGD 1,500 per month.
- Alternative presentation of annual tuition by age (converted/published on international school fee listings):
- Age ~6 months: USD 5,000 per year. (Per‑term implied = USD 1,250 if divided into four equal terms — this per‑term figure is an inference based on the listed annual fee and a four‑term academic year; the division is an estimate, not an explicitly published per‑term charge.)
- Age 1: USD 7,000 per year (per‑term implied USD 1,750 by the same inference).
- Age 2–3: USD 9,000 per year (per‑term implied USD 2,250).
- Age 4–6: USD 10,000 per year (per‑term implied USD 2,500).
How the per‑term numbers above were derived (important)
- Where only annual figures are published, a per‑term amount shown above was calculated by dividing the published annual fee by four to produce an estimated per‑term figure; that division is an inference for display convenience and is not stated as an official school billing schedule.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- A specific, published billing schedule (for example: term dates, invoice due dates, or whether the school issues invoices monthly versus termly) for the Aperia centre is not published in the publicly available centre listing. Local directory listings show monthly tuition amounts and one‑time registration / deposit charges but do not publish formal invoice timing or late‑payment terms.
Boarding fees
- Boarding is not applicable; the centre is an infant care and childcare / kindergarten centre and no boarding fees are published.
Other costs and typical additional fees
- Uniforms: no school‑wide uniform pricing is published for the Aperia centre in the public listings; uniform purchase costs are not specified.
- Optional enrichment / co‑curricular fees: external partner listings show typical extracurricular class fees and uniform costs for partner programmes (example: a partner listing referenced discounts for baby ballet term classes and a new‑signup uniform cost), indicating that optional activity fees and uniforms for partner programmes may apply. These are optional and charged separately from core tuition.
- Materials / snacks / meals: local listings do not itemise standard materials or meal charges for the Aperia centre; some centres include food in tuition while others itemise meals separately — no itemised meal charge is published for Aperia in the public listings.
Refund and withdrawal information
- A public, detailed refund or withdrawal policy (for example: refund of deposits, refund of prepaid tuition, required notice period for withdrawal, or pro‑rata refund rules) for the Aperia centre is not published in the public listings examined. Where only partial fee elements are listed (application/registration/deposit), no authoritative public statement on refundability appears alongside those amounts in the available listings.
Fee payment options
- Specific accepted payment methods (for example: bank transfer, credit card, local instant payment schemes, GIRO, or cheque) are not published in the centre listings consulted. Public listings show amounts and one‑time charges but do not list which payment channels are accepted at the Aperia centre.
Additional notes and summary of coverage
- Public directory listings for Josiah Montessori – Aperia include concrete figures for one‑time registration items (SGD 500 registration; SGD 2,280 deposit) and example monthly tuition (SGD 1,850 full day; SGD 1,500 half day). They also appear in international fee aggregators that list annual tuition by age (USD figures).
- Certain operational details that parents commonly need for budgeting and contract review — specifically: the school's official billing schedule (invoice timing and due dates), formal payment terms, a published refund/withdrawal policy, and the school's accepted payment methods — are not available in the public listings that contain fee amounts. Where only annual fees are shown, per‑term amounts in this summary were calculated by dividing the annual figure by four; that calculation is an estimate for database display only, not an official per‑term charge from the centre.
If you require these missing operational details (exact invoicing schedule, payment methods accepted, refundability of deposit or fees, or official per‑term billing lines), those items are not published in the public fee listings reviewed here. The figures above reflect the public fee items that are published for the Aperia centre (application/enrolment/registration/deposit, monthly tuition examples, and annual tuition listings) and per‑term estimates derived from published annual figures where noted.
