Pre-school children from lower-income homes will get more educational and healthcare support with a programme that will get $3.38 million in funding from the Temasek Foundation.
Launched by the PAP Community Foundation (PCF) and Temasek Foundation yesterday, the Temasek Foundation First Step Programme aims to provide financial support for lower-income families to reduce the barriers to pre-school enrolment.
Under the programme, eligible children enrolled in infant care to Nursery 2 at PCF Sparkletots will receive a top-up in their Child Development Account (CDA) of $200 a year for two years. With the Government s dollar-for-dollar matching contributions, each child s CDA will receive up to $800 over two years.
