Updates on Changes to Kindergarten Particulars

In August 2004, the government launched a one-stop portal, Online Business Licensing Service (OBLS), to provide an integrated licence application service to all existing businesses or start-ups operating in Singapore. This service helps to save signifcant time for businesses as applicants can apply for multiple licences using one portal.

With effect from 3 July 2006, all registered kindergartens must update the Pre School Education Branch (PEB) of the Ministry of Education (MOE) on the following changes:

• Registration of teachers (via OBLS)
• Appointment of Principals (132kb .doc)
• Addition and/or Re-registration of Committee of Management¹ (140kb .doc) (via OBLS)
• Relocation or expansion of kindergarten (124kb .doc) (via OBLS)
• Change of kindergarten name (120kb .doc) (via OBLS)

The Education Act stipulates that only the Supervisor or a member of the Committee of Management (CM) may apply for the change of kindergarten particulars.

1. For change of ownership of a kindergarten, application can be made using the OBLS module on ‘Addition/Re-registration of Committee of Management’ ↩
