About Us

Sunshine Kids first started operations in Hougang in 1990. In 2002, Sunshine Kids was the first child care centre to set up in Punggol Field. In the past two decades, we have worked with thousands of children and families. We are confident and are now ready to consolidate our rich experiences to service the parents in the central & financial business district. The Market Street Centre was setup for this purpose.

At the helm is Clara Yeow, who holds a B.A.(Honours) in Early Childhood Education. She has undergone specialized modular training from the Institute for Achievement of Human Potential, Philaphedia, USA and has also undergone training in the Davis approach for dyslexic children.

Once your child recovers from a contagious illness, you will have to produce a medical certificate from a registered doctor to confirm that your child is no longer contagious and is ready to go back to the Centre and/or a medical certificate stating period of rest at home. For the latter document, the child must appear well and symptom free at the door. If symptoms persist then a medical fitness certificate must be produced in addition the medication certificate. This is necessary to help your child recover faster and ensure the well being of other children.
