It is most certainly one of the most common and often heard and quoted saying that the children are the future of the nation and indeed it is for a fact that a lot of the nation’s future developments depend on the children and their upbringing in the country. Being one of the most fast developing and advanced countries not only just of Asia but in whole world, Singapore definitely puts a lot of emphasis on this point.
It becomes very clear from most of the country’s policies and certain courses of action that in Singapore childcare is considered as one of the top most priorities of social welfare and development along with civic amenities, law and education.
It is quite a common and predominant idea among most of the people that although Singapore is a heavily urbanized area with all the facilities of modern living and lifestyle, the place is more fit for a visit on a vacation or going to work for a multinational company sitting in a comfortable office on the top floor of a high rise. There are very few in fact who consider the place fit for being a proper residential zone with options for settling down with family and raise their kids in a proper fashion.
However, on the contrary, in Singapore child centers are quite a common phenomenon which offers all kinds of facilities such as crèche or baby sitting services and even a highly effective basic primary level educational curriculum and almost all of them are equipped with absolutely state of the art infrastructure. Talking about child care program of Singapore kindergartens and Singapore dance classes deserve a special mention. There are a number of Government run as well as private organizations which hold classes and workshops regarding art and craft emphasizing the importance of a child’s creative development.
