How to apply childcare?

Hi mummies, I went down to a particular govt childcare and the staff told me to apply thru ECDA. I login to apply but cannot. Their website is not user friendly. It’s so frustrating!! I called up another private centre to enquire and their reply is like “don’t bother applying cause we don’t have a slot for u”. How do u guys apply? I’m so tired of hunting for a school and it doesn’t help at all that most/all centre that I call up no slot. It’s so ridiculous that the govt want to boost the fertility rate but we working parents don’t have much support. ?
