How fresh the source is
Rolling: each centre updates its own listing; the newest update is shown with the answer
Limits
Posted monthly fees that centres list with ECDA for full-day care, before any government subsidy or anchor-operator discount, not what a parent paid. The figures are across centres, not across children, and are not weighted by places. Fees differ by citizenship (Singapore citizen, permanent resident, other), so the answer names the group. Half-day kindergarten programmes and school-age (student care) are not in the dataset. Centre names and codes are not stored; a figure needs 5 or more centres.
Rule
A figure built from records is shown only when at least 5 records sit behind it; official statistics are shown as such, with their reference period. See how we earn trust and the method.
