Why families choose us

More than childcare — a bilingual head start.

At MapleBear Jurong Gateway, your child is cared for and taught in both English and Mandarin, absorbed naturally through the day rather than drilled through worksheets. It is childcare and a proper early education in one place.

  • Meals freshly prepared daily by our in-house cook, under the Health Promotion Board's Healthy Preschool Accreditation and Healthy Meals in Preschools Programme
  • English and Mandarin every day, in small classes with qualified teachers
  • A one-way morning school bus, subject to route availability
  • Easy drop-off 350 metres from Jurong East MRT, opposite Science Centre

Childcare FAQs.

From what age can my child start childcare?

Children can join us from 18 months of age. We do not offer infant care (below 18 months). Placement follows your child's birth year in line with ECDA guidelines, and our team is happy to advise which programme suits your child.

What are your childcare hours?

We offer a Full-Day Programme (7:00am – 7:00pm) and a Half-Day Programme (7:00am – 1:00pm), Monday to Friday. Curriculum hours run roughly 9:00am to 5:00pm. The centre is closed on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.

Are meals provided?

Yes. Breakfast and lunch are included in both programmes, with afternoon tea for full-day children. All meals are freshly prepared daily by our in-house cook. We are accredited under the Health Promotion Board's Healthy Preschool Accreditation Framework and take part in the Healthy Meals in Preschools Programme (HMPP).

Do you provide a school bus?

Yes — we offer a one-way school bus for the morning journey from home to school, subject to route availability. Children arriving by bus can still have breakfast on arrival. Contact us to check whether your area is on a route.

Do you accept ECDA subsidies?

We are an ECDA Partner Operator. Depending on your circumstances, your family may be eligible for government childcare subsidies. Speak to our team and we will walk you through what applies to you.
