For Punggol parents reading a preschool subsidy application outcome, the monthly programme fee shown is before subsidies or Kindergarten Fee Assistance Scheme (KiFAS). ECDA confirms that this figure is not the fee after assistance.
To find out what you must pay, contact your preschool for its payment details. Read the stated programme fee alongside your approved assistance and the centre’s invoice.
If the outcome and invoice seem different, ask the centre to explain the billing month and each entry. Avoid treating the programme-fee figure alone as your final monthly payment.

CHAPTER 1 OF 4
Read the fee label carefully
The ECDA explanation of the outcome fee identifies it as the amount before subsidies or KiFAS.
Keep a copy of the outcome when checking your bill. The useful question is: “How does this stated fee connect to the amount on my invoice?”
CHAPTER 2 OF 4
Ask for the payable amount
Request the centre’s calculation for the particular month you are paying. Ask which approved deductions have been applied and whether any separate charges appear.
For an illustration only, a fee of $900 less an approved deduction of $300 leaves $600 for those two entries. This is arithmetic, not a subsidy entitlement or a complete invoice.
CHAPTER 3 OF 4
Compare like with like
Check that the child, programme and billing period match across the documents. A figure for one programme should not be used to predict the bill for another.
Ask the centre to explain any difference rather than guessing its cause. Note the answer beside the relevant entry so you can follow the next invoice.
CHAPTER 4 OF 4
Keep a simple fee record
Save the application outcome, invoices and payment receipts together. Record any clarification the centre gives about a deduction or adjustment.
