Do parents need to bring diapers and milk powder to infant care in Punggol? ECDA says parents typically provide their own supplies to cater to their infant’s needs.
The arrangement should be discussed and agreed with the preschool. Ask what you need to supply before the first day instead of assuming it is included in the programme fee.
Confirm the centre’s packing, labelling and replenishment instructions. A clear arrangement helps your family prepare the items actually requested without buying an unnecessary second set of everything.

CHAPTER 1 OF 4
Agree the supply arrangement
The ECDA answer on diapers and milk powder encourages parents and preschools to discuss and agree what works for the infant.
Ask which items you provide and which the centre provides. Keep a written list that other family members can follow when packing.
CHAPTER 2 OF 4
Ask how items should arrive
Check whether the centre wants daily quantities or a supply kept on site. Ask how your infant’s items should be identified.
For milk-related items, follow the centre’s instructions and discuss your child’s needs directly. This guide is about arrangements, not feeding or preparation advice.
CHAPTER 3 OF 4
Plan the refill routine
Ask how staff will let you know supplies are running low and who should receive the reminder. Confirm how you should report a change in the items supplied.
A simple reminder on your family calendar can make replenishment easier. Adjust it to the arrangement agreed with the centre rather than a guessed universal quantity.
CHAPTER 4 OF 4
Clarify any separate charges
If the centre supplies an item for a charge, ask for the price and billing arrangement. Keep that information separate from your own shopping costs.
Our preschool extra charges guide explains what to check beyond programme fees.
