Infant care fees

This is my first pregnancy and still not sure if ill be sending my baby to infant care after Maternity leave ends or not. 1. Usually whats the price range for infant care fees per month? Any deposit ? Any subsidy if both parents working ? 2. if we apply, will we confirm get it or depends on the slot and availability ? 3. Is it mandatory to send our baby everyday or we can choose if we want to send everyday or some days we can skip ? (In the event one of parents on leave)

1. Depends on the centre. I paid for deposit of a month, registration fee, insurance for 1 year as well as school fee. Subsidy will be as follow https://www.ecda.gov.sg/parents/subsidies-financial-assistance 2. Highly advice to apply as early as 1 year beforehand at your preferred centre. Slots for IFC/CC is very limited therefore if unavailable will be waitlist. Otherwise, if you prefer the same school but different outlet they might recommend you that too. 3. Highly advice to send since you paid for a full month fee. You may get plenty of rest too. Alternatively, if you wish to spend more time together then you may opt that too.

Usually u just need to enquire and they will put u on waiting list. May also ask you to fill in some forms but so far for me no deposit given until abt 2-3 months to enrolment and tt's when the sch will ask for salary slips etc.
