NTUC First Campus to add up to 4,000 places in next 2 years
The Straits Times
|November 10, 2022
It will place more emphasis on foundational skills in building relationships, digital skills
Up to 4,000 places for children will be added at preschools run by NTUC First Campus (NFC) over the next two years, as part of efforts to meet demand.
The places will be available in locations like Tampines, Yishun, Pasir Ris and Choa Chu Kang, some of which are near the Housing Board's new Build-To-Order developments.
With the expansion, NFC - the second-largest preschool operator here after PAP Community Foundation - will offer more than 30,000 places in total across some 170 centres.
NFC chief executive Chan Su Yee made these announcements at the preschool operator's 45th-anniversary celebration on Wednesday, along with the official opening of one of its My First Skool centres in Punggol.
To better equip children for the future, Ms Chan said that NFC will be placing more emphasis on foundational skills in building relationships, understanding the world around them and digital skills.
