Setting up a pre-school or kindergarten in Singapore involves the following:
1. Incorporate your business. The most suitable legal entity for this purpose is a private limited Singapore company. Incorporating a private limited company in Singapore is a fairly straightforward and quick process although certain statutory requirements apply. For more details, refer to Singapore Company Formation Guide.
2. Find suitable premises. You can only use premises that are approved for educational activities by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA). Therefore you should check with the landowner to makes sure the premises you are planning to lease can be used for this purpose.
3. Hire Staff. As majority of your staff will consist of teaching staff, you will need to make sure they have the necessary qualifications to teach relevant courses. You will be required to clearly state qualifications of teaching staff in your marketing collateral.
4. Apply for necessary licenses. You must register with the MOE and obtain mandatory licenses as applicable.
5. Obtain accreditations such as EduTrust certification and Singapore Quality Class (SQC) certification
