Goh Pei Ming, whose portfolio includes family support initiatives, said his personal experience raising three children has given him insight into the pressures families encounter when selecting and managing pre-school arrangements.
The minister noted that understanding these pain points is crucial for developing effective policies and programmes that provide parents with greater confidence and assurance during this formative stage of their children's development.
His remarks underscore the government's commitment to enhancing support systems for families with young children, recognising that pre-school decisions often generate significant concern among parents weighing educational quality, costs, and accessibility.
Efforts to ease parental anxiety are expected to include enhanced guidance, clearer information channels, and targeted assistance programmes designed to help families make informed choices about early childhood education options available in Singapore.
