Application / Registration Fees
- A registration (application) fee is collected on confirmation of placement. A commonly listed registration fee amount across affiliated centres is SGD 80; this fee may be waived during promotions such as open‑house events.
Tuition fees by year group (St. Andrew's, Jurong West)
- Full Day (Playgroup — 18 months up to Kindergarten 2 — ~6 years): SGD 650 per month. This published centre rate is stated before GST and before any government subsidies for Singaporean children.
- Annual equivalent (12 months): SGD 7,800 (SDG 650 x 12) — shown here as the 12‑month equivalent of the published monthly rate; GST and any applicable subsidies are not included in this figure.
- Subsidies: Singaporean children at Partner Operator (POP) centres can receive government childcare subsidies; POP subsidies can reduce out‑of‑pocket fees by amounts of up to SGD 767 per month (amount depends on eligibility and household income). The POP / Non‑POP fee distinction and subsidy guidance are published for the Little Seeds network.
Per‑term fees / how fees are presented
- Fees are published and billed as a monthly rate. The centre's stated rate is SGD 650 per month; the provider publishes fees as monthly amounts rather than a fixed per‑term schedule. Therefore per‑term totals will equal the monthly fee multiplied by the number of months in that term (the centre's published materials show monthly billing).
Billing schedule and payment terms
- Billing frequency: Fees are presented on a monthly basis (monthly rates).
- At offer/confirmation: a registration fee and a deposit are collected to secure a place; for foreign‑national students, the Student's Pass application fee (and the first month's fees) are collected to confirm placement. A 2‑week trial (when used) requires payment of the registration fee plus a pro‑rated 2‑week fee.
- GST: Centre pages indicate published POP monthly rates are stated excluding GST. Subsidy calculations are applied to the pre‑subsidy monthly rate shown.
Boarding fees
- Not applicable. Little Seeds Preschool (St. Andrew's) is a day preschool (full‑day programme 7:00am–7:00pm); no boarding or residential provision is offered.
Other costs and incidental charges
- Deposit: A deposit is required on confirmation of placement; the centre's registration materials note a deposit is collected but the publicly posted centre page does not list a single, fixed deposit amount. For foreigners a deposit is required together with first‑month fees and Student's Pass application fee when confirming placement.
- Student's Pass application fee (foreign children): payable where applicable to process the Student's Pass when required.
- Uniforms: Uniform items are available and handled through the Little Seeds uniform webstore (separate purchase). Uniform costs are charged separately from tuition.
- Enrichment, materials, incidental charges: Optional enrichment programmes and certain incidental or consumable charges (enrichment providers, materials, occasional school events) may incur additional fees and are handled per centre or external providers; such incidental charges are not published as a single set amount on the St. Andrew's centre page.
Refund information
- No comprehensive public refund policy for tuition, deposit or registration fees is published on the centre's public pages for St. Andrew's. An affiliated registration portal used by partner campuses states that the registration fee is non‑transferable and non‑refundable when collected through that portal; specific refund terms for deposits and other charges are not published on the St. Andrew's centre page.
Fee payment options
- The public centre pages do not list a full set of accepted payment methods for recurring tuition. The registration portal used by affiliated centres collects the registration fee via credit/debit card at registration, indicating card payment is accepted for registration transactions; other payment channels for ongoing tuition (bank transfer / GIRO / PayNow / card) are not explicitly listed on the St. Andrew's public page.
Notes on details not published or not available in public materials
- The St. Andrew's centre page publishes a single POP monthly rate (SGD 650/month) and notes that this is before GST and before subsidies; the public pages do not publish a centre‑specific deposit amount, a line‑by‑line per‑term schedule (fees are shown as monthly), a comprehensive refund policy, or a complete list of accepted ongoing payment methods. Where a registration fee amount appears (commonly SGD 80 across affiliated campuses), it is indicated in affiliated registration materials and in open‑house promotions.
- If you require minute itemisation beyond the monthly tuition rate (for example: an explicit deposit amount, formal refund clauses, a published per‑term calendar and per‑term invoice amount, or a full list of payment channels accepted for ongoing tuition), those specific line items are not detailed on the St. Andrew's public centre page and are recorded at the registration/offer stage or in centre administrative materials.
