Preschool
Three to six in Singapore: choosing a preschool, managing behaviour and friendships, and the run-up to Primary 1.
Three to six is the stretch before formal school, and the questions change shape. Less about feeding and sleep, more about behaviour, friendships, and which preschool to choose.
Preschool choice is the big one in Singapore, and it gets decided earlier than most parents expect. We have set out how the system works, what the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) regulates, and what actually separates the options once you visit them.
Health sits in its own group below, because at this age most of it is whatever is going around the class.
