There are childcare centres that also offer extended programmes from 7am to 3pm. This caters to parents who prefer their kids to be exposed to more developmental programmes for slightly over half the day.
Some centres also provide a range of flexicare programmes to cater to the diverse needs of working parents.
• Flexicare 1 - 12 hours to 24 hours per week
• Flexicare 2 - Above 24 hours to 36 hours per week
• Flexicare 3 - Above 36 hours to 48 hours per week
• Flexicare 4 - Above 48 hours per week
If you still can’t make up your mind over the programme type, do discuss with your childcare centre manager to give you the flexibility of changing programmes later on, if your child is not happy with the initial programme you choose.
