Billing schedule and payment terms
- Published fee listings and market summaries present tuition as a monthly charge; tuition is therefore billed on a monthly basis in typical practice for these programmes. The registration/enrolment fee and the booking deposit are payable at the point of enrolment.
- The registration/enrolment fee (SGD 500) is shown as a one‑time, non‑refundable charge in published listings. Booking deposits are standard and are held against the child's place; third‑party listings indicate deposits are normally secured at enrolment and applied according to the centre's withdrawal/notice practice. Exact invoicing dates, late fees and required notice periods are not published in the public fee summaries referenced here.
Boarding fees
- Boarding is not applicable. The Suntec City Mall centre is listed as an Infant Care & Childcare centre (no boarding or residential provision).
Other costs and one‑off charges
- Uniforms and basic school materials: a one‑time cost is typically charged; published third‑party listings show a uniform charge in the low double‑digit range (examples around SGD 45) while broader summaries list a wider possible one‑time cost for uniforms/materials.
- Insurance / miscellaneous administrative charges: small annual insurance charges appear on some listings (example entry showing an annual insurance line).
- Enrichment or optional programme fees: some centres run additional paid enrichment offerings; published summaries note that Josiah operates in‑house enrichment programmes, but optional/add‑on charges vary by centre and are not uniformly listed in the public fee summaries.
Refund information
- Public fee summaries and marketplace listings indicate the registration fee is charged once at enrolment and is treated as non‑refundable. Third‑party listings show booking/deposit amounts and describe deposits being held against a secured place; however, explicit, centre‑published refund rules (exact notice periods, conditions for deposit refunds or forfeiture, and detailed refund timing) are not published in the public materials cited. In short, the registration fee is presented as non‑refundable and deposit handling is standard practice, but the centre's detailed refund policy is not openly listed in the available public fee summaries.
Fee payment options
- The publicly available fee summaries and centre listings used here provide tuition amounts, registration and deposit figures but do not list the specific payment methods accepted (for example: bank transfer, GIRO/recurring debit, credit card, PayNow). Therefore no centre‑specific payment method can be confirmed from the published fee summaries cited.
Summary of source coverage and notes on availability
- The official centre pages for Josiah list locations and programme types (Infant Care & Childcare) but the Josiah public pages consulted do not publish a full, line‑by‑line fee schedule for the Suntec City Mall centre. The numerical fee figures given above come from recent published marketplace and editorial summaries for Josiah centres and from centre‑specific listings aggregated by independent childcare directories; those listings consistently show the same fee bands (infant full‑day around SGD 2,300–2,440; childcare full‑day around SGD 2,050–2,250; registration fee SGD 500; deposits in the SGD 1,900–2,300 range). The centre's precise terms for invoicing cadence, accepted payment channels and the exact refund/withdrawal policy are not contained in the publicly available fee summaries reviewed here.
