Application / Registration Fees and Deposits
- Admission requires a deposit equivalent to one month
of school fees, payment of one-month advanced school fee, and a registration fee; specific registration fee amounts are not published by the centre.

Tuition fees (by programme / age group) — quoted amounts are monthly and are before GST
- Programme options: Pre-Nursery (18–30 months), Nursery 1, Nursery 2, Kindergarten 1, Kindergarten 2.
- Yio Chu Kang centre monthly tuition (before GST):
- Early Dismissal programme (7:00am–5:30pm): SGD 1,550 per month.
- Full Day programme (7:00am–7:00pm): SGD 1,650 per month.
- Annual equivalents (simple monthly x 12):
- Early Dismissal: SGD 18,600 per year (SGD 1,550 x 12).
- Full Day: SGD 19,800 per year (SGD 1,650 x 12).
- Per-term presentation (calculated inference): the centre publishes fees as monthly amounts rather than per-term. If the academic year is structured into three terms (the centre references Term 3 in its curriculum descriptions), a standard way to derive a per-term figure is to multiply the monthly fee by four months. Using that inference:
- Early Dismissal: approximately SGD 6,200 per term (SGD 1,550 x 4). (This is a calculated estimate based on the centre
monthly figure and a three-term academic year; the centre quotes monthly fees.)
- Full Day: approximately SGD 6,600 per term (SGD 1,650 x 4). (Calculated estimate.)

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Tuition is quoted and published as a monthly amount (figures shown are before GST). The admissions process requires payment of a deposit equal to one month

admissions and enrolment process.
