Committee of Supply 2025 debate, Day 6: Yeo Wan Ling on supporting families with young children, Singapore Made for Families partnerships
In Singapore, preschool education is recognised as a crucial stage in a child’s development and the government has been actively working to enhance the preschool sector through the Early Childhood Development Agency. Despite their efforts, the challenge remains to balance affordability with maintaining high standards of care and education. How will the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) further improve the affordability and quality of preschools for all families in Singapore? MP Yeo Wan Ling raised this issue in parliament on Friday (Mar 7). She also asked how MSF will further build and foster a family-friendly and inclusive Singapore and whether it will be further engaging with "whole-of-society’" stakeholders to provide more marriage and parenting resources for families.
