SINGAPORE - By 2021, PCF Sparkletots, the largest pre-school operator here, will have 38 centres that admit younger children aged up to four.

At the official opening of PCF Sparkletot's first and largest Early Years Centre in Punggol North on Saturday , Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean said he was glad to see the pre-school operator expanding its services in the early years sector. The pre-school at Edgefield Plains in Punggol North, which opened its doors in May last year, is designed to take in 1,060 children. It now has 449 children, aged two months to four years old.

The event on Saturday was also attended by Manpower Minister Josephine Teo, who is PCF's executive committee chairperson, and Mr Ng Chee Meng, Minister in the Prime Minister's Office and chairman of PCF Punggol North Branch. Besides 131 teachers and assistant teachers, the pre-school also has two state-registered nurses who look after the infants.
