Your partner in child development
Ages 3–12 · Singapore

You've found the classes. Are they the right ones for your child?

Every parent wants the best for their child, and Singapore gives you a thousand ways to provide it. But how do you know the classes you've chosen are the ones your child actually needs? Kids Ground helps you find out — before another year and another few thousand dollars go by.

Why we exist

Singapore parents are investing more than ever — often in the dark

You want the best for your child. So you sign up for classes, hope you've chosen well, and quietly wonder whether it's making a difference. Almost every parent we meet is doing this. Very few have anything solid to base the decision on.

The question was never whether to invest in your child. It's whether the investment is landing where it counts.

Our story

How Kids Ground began

We spent years working with children and their families in paediatric settings. Over time, the same conversation kept coming up — with parents from every kind of background, about children of every kind of ability.

It rarely began with a problem. It usually began with hope. Parents who simply wanted to help their child become the fullest version of themselves, and who were trying very hard to do the right thing by them.

But doing the right thing turned out to be surprisingly hard. There are more than a thousand centres in Singapore, each promising something a little different. Parents would sign up, hope for the best, and wonder privately whether they'd chosen well. Was this the right class? The right moment? Was there something their child needed more?

Nobody could really tell them. The centres knew their own programmes. The clinic saw their child for twenty minutes. And in between sat a parent, making significant decisions about their child's growing-up years with very little to go on.

Kids Ground exists to sit in that gap. We're a partner in your child's development — supported by allied health professionals, educators and child development specialists. We take the time to get to know your child properly, and then we help you decide what actually fits.

Not more classes. The right ones.

"After years in this field, I wanted to build something different — an ecosystem where we walk alongside parents rather than simply advise them. Where families make more informed decisions, and feel genuinely empowered in their child's development."

Our vision

A world where every child has the community and support to grow to their fullest potential.

Our mission

To help children thrive by building supportive communities and connecting families to the care, resources and expertise they need.

Growing up takes more than one pair of hands. Kids Ground brings together the people, services and support that help a child flourish — and stands beside the families and educators who guide them every day.

Where we're heading

Four areas we're building towards as Kids Ground grows into a fuller support network for families. Therapy and small-group lessons are running today; the rest are on the way, and will live in our family portal.

What we stand for

Our values

Child at the centre

Every decision starts with what helps a child grow. When needs compete, theirs come first.

Better together

Growth happens in community. We support the whole circle around a child — families, educators and therapists — because no one does it alone.

Access for all

Good support shouldn't depend on what a family can afford. Our sessions and programmes are paid — but asking isn't. Tell us what's happening and we'll point you towards the right help, including free and subsidised routes, even when that isn't us.

Trusted by design

Curation is our promise. We vet what we offer, so you don't have to second-guess it.

Grow forward

We keep learning and improving — and we believe every child and family can too.

Let's keep growing.

What we do

Two ways to begin

Available now

Starting Point

One focused session with a specialist, and clear direction on what would suit your child next.

  • A 60 minute session getting to know your child
  • Honest guidance on what kind of support or activity would suit
  • Waiting for a hospital appointment or an early intervention place? We can begin personalised support now, so your child isn't waiting to get started

Founding cohort — forming

The Discovery Programme

Twelve sessions across three months, in a range of real activity settings — because children show you very different things in different rooms.

  • A small group of children moving through varied activities together
  • We observe your child across different settings — movement, focused tasks, creative work, free play, and time with other children
  • An individual development profile drawn from all twelve sessions
  • A sit-down debrief, and clear direction on what fits your child next

Our first cohort is for ages 3–6, with the 7–12 programme opening after. Places are limited.

Two stages, two very different questions

Foundation Years · 3–6

The fastest period of development your child will ever go through. Here the questions are about readiness and groundwork: attention, communication, coordination, managing feelings, playing alongside others, settling into school. Getting this right makes everything after it easier.

Growing Years · 7–12

Now the questions change. Where does your child genuinely shine, and where are they quietly struggling? Which co-curricular and enrichment paths are worth committing to — and which are absorbing time and money without giving much back? This is when direction matters most.

Our team

One child, many kinds of expertise

No single professional sees the whole child. Kids Ground brings together allied health professionals, educators and child development specialists — so whatever your child needs, the right expertise is ready to step in, and the advice you get isn't shaped by whatever one person happens to specialise in.

Speech & language therapists

Communication, language, social interaction, and how your child makes themselves understood.

Occupational therapists

Attention, regulation, coordination, sensory processing and everyday independence.

Psychologists

Thinking and learning, emotional wellbeing, and how your child copes under pressure.

Behavioural specialists & educators

Behaviour, motivation, classroom learning and the practical business of daily routines.

Our team brings together in-house therapists and a network of freelance specialists, matched to what each child actually needs. All are registered with the relevant Singapore professional bodies, and we'll always tell you plainly who has worked with your child.

What we promise you

For parents

Start your child's journey

No cost and no commitment — just tell us a little about your child, and we'll be in touch.

For centres & providers

We're looking for partners

The Discovery Programme runs across real activity settings — movement, music, art, sport, drama, creative and hands-on learning. We're building a small network of quality providers across Singapore to host those sessions. If that sounds like you, we'd like to hear from you.

We also work with freelance therapists alongside our in-house team. If you're a registered allied health professional looking for referral work, use the same form below.

Tell us what you offer and where you're based, and we'll be in touch.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is this only for children with difficulties?

Not at all. Some families come to us with a specific concern, and many simply want a clearer picture of their child before making decisions. Both are equally welcome, and the process is the same.

My child is 10. Is this still relevant?

Yes, though the questions are different. For older children it's usually about direction — where their real strengths lie, which co-curricular or enrichment paths are worth committing to, and what's quietly holding them back. Our 7–12 programme opens after the founding cohort.

Do you provide therapy yourselves?

Yes. We have in-house therapists who provide therapy and small-group lessons for children who need them, and we work with a network of freelance therapists alongside them. If your child needs that kind of support, we can provide it directly.

Do you run your own enrichment classes?

No, deliberately. Enrichment and activity providers — swimming coaches, music teachers and the like — are entirely independent of us. We book and pay for their sessions and we have no stake in them, so when we point you towards one, it's because it suits your child.

Will you tell me if my child has autism, ADHD or a learning difficulty?

We don't diagnose — that sits with a doctor or psychologist. What we will do is observe carefully, describe what we see in plain language, and tell you honestly if we think a formal assessment is worth pursuing, and who to approach.

We're on a waitlist for support. Should we wait, or come to you?

Please stay on your waitlist — that support is worth having, and we're not a replacement for it. But waiting months with nothing happening is hard on a child and on you. We can begin personalised work now, so the time isn't lost, and many families find our profile useful to bring along when their appointment finally comes through.

Why do you record the sessions?

A child may behave differently across various moments in a session. Video footage allows for accurate review and a proper understanding of your child's baseline performance in a given skill. Rest assured, footage is reviewed only by our in-house therapists, and only on a need-to-know basis.

What does it cost?

We'll confirm pricing directly with you as places open. Register your interest and we'll walk you through it — there's no obligation either way.
