SINGAPORE: Parents will have to continue paying pre-school fees even when centres are closed for a month as part of enhanced safe-distancing ...
. All Singaporeans aged 21 and above in 2020 will receive a cash payout of between S$300 to S$600 and each Singaporean parent with at least one Singaporean child aged 20 and below will also receive an additional S$300 in cash.
To further support parents during this period, the Early Childhood Development Agency will waive the minimum one-day attendance requirement in April so parents can continue to receive preschool subsidies. During this period, besides supporting children and parents through home-based activity resources, pre-schools will continue to keep in touch with parents to check on the child’s general well-being, MSF said.
Otherwise, staff should telecommute during the pre-school closures, and conduct their work from home - for example, contacting parents to follow-up on children’s well-being, preparing lesson plans and home learning resources.
