Much to their horror, parents of pre-schoolers received this letter from YMCA last week, informing them of an impending fee hike.
Fees will rise from next year by S$75 for full-day sessions, and S$50 for half-day sessions.
YMCA is the latest childcare operator to increase school fees for students.
The PAP Community Foundation got the ball rolling when it increased school fees across all levels for a majority of its childcare centres.
The NTUC’s My First Skool followed suit shortly later.
Both the PCF and NTUC have offered parents temporary rebates to ease into the new fee system.
