      Oh my god, the childcare premises at this duxton winning bid is $45368.


      Assume, $40k staff salary. Total $90k plus misc. And the area is around 429sqm can attract the most 120 students based on 3sqm per kid plus minus off the kitchen and office.

      And assume he charges the student $1000, the breakeven is 90 fulltime students.

      Pity the duxton residence need to pay so high price to put their kids in that area.

          used to own 1 a few ago, wow 5yrs ago.. times really fly. but went burst (bankrupt) due to high rent and high labour cost.....

          parents want cheap price.. the landlord want high price... the teacher want high salary... etc...

          After leaving the industry, now is the other way round.... im put my kids in the childcare and doing the complaining! more siok!

            Actually, childcare centres in that area charge rather high prices. E.g. Shichida Kindergarten charges $800 per month. I think Del-Care is about this price, too.

            If you don't want to pay such a high price, you can actually consider Spottiswoode Park. I think there is one centre there.

                dun ever open child care in hdb…


                70% Singaporean parents love to complain by nature and shot email to MCYS for trival matter… and by the way, im doing that to the childcare. it is revenge time!

                Whereas, 90% ang mo are the best… As long as their kids learn something, they are happy…and best, they are paying more than singaporean.

                If you plan to open a child care… pls do not open in hdb… you will regret… Y? Imagine singaporean parents driving big car owe $$ to school… then suddenly withdraw… write off… which lead to my downfall…

                Parents delay my payment, can i delay my staff payment?

                Because of cash tight, and limited budget… cut here and there…squeeze here and there… then came NTUC increase their staff pay, then you ll need to follow suit…

                Duxton childcare will be another victim.

                  Good news for the nearby childcare. they can based on this duxton as reference and up the fee... or indirectly, attract duxton residence to nearby childcare. Anyway, there is always a thing call school bus...

                      Hi there,

                      I believe the 45k+ is for a tender for a year or so ?
                      can't be per month right?

                      I too am thinking of opening a franchise wif cherie hearts soon with some partners...

                        sad to say.. is per month $45k+. franchise fee would be $70k to $100k and take note, they will take 6-10% of gross revenue, not net revenue. But pls note, it is very very difficult to find teacher and you may end up under the mercy of the teacher.
