KidSTART empowers families to build strong foundations for their children and foster positive child development outcomes by supporting caregivers with evidence-based guidance on pregnancy, child development and assessments on the developmental progress of children from birth onwards. Our vision is to give children a good start in life.

Research suggests that experiences in a child’s early years significantly influence his or her long-term physical, cognitive and social development, and these have an impact on a child’s lifelong outcomes.

As the appointed Social Service Agency anchoring KidSTART in the Jalan Besar and Toa Payoh regions, we support eligible families with young children from 0-6 years old:

• Support in a home setting for families with children from birth to 6 years old.
• Regular home visits to guide parents with skills and practical knowledge in the areas of early childhood development, health and nutrition.
• Regular screening of the child’s growth and maternal well-being to ensure early intervention if needed.

Eligibility

• Families with Singapore citizen children 6 years old and below
• Has a gross monthly household income of $2,500 and below, or per capita income of $650 and below
• Families who reside in or have children enrolled in selected preschools within the Jalan Besar or Toa Payoh regions (Visit KidSTART.sg to find out about other KidSTART regions)
