How does GenieHouse ensure my child's academic progress?

Our AI-personalised worksheets constantly adapt to challenge your child at the right level. Our dedicated teachers use this performance data to provide targeted guidance. Regular progress updates and motivational rewards from our Bubble Store also keep children inspired to improve.

Does GenieHouse offer more than just academic support?

Yes. We use educational games and hands-on projects to make learning feel less like a chore. This interactive approach builds critical thinking skills and helps children become resilient, self-directed learners.

What are the operating hours and fees for GenieHouse?

We are open from 1:30–7 PM on weekdays. Our launch rate is $600 per month for the first eight sign-ups at each outlet, covering all four subjects. Subsequent registrations are priced at $780 per month.

Is GenieHouse worth it compared to paying separately for student care and tuition?

Yes, GenieHouse bundles what would otherwise be $400–$700/month for student care plus $150–$300/month per tuition subject into one $600/month founding rate, covering all 4 subjects, 5 afternoons a week.

Why does GenieHouse have teachers rather than subject teachers?

Subject expertise lives in the platform (GenieClass is built by MOE curriculum specialists, GenieSmart adapts to each child's errors, GenieAsk explains concepts), so on-site teachers focus on guiding students, correcting homework and keeping them engaged. All teachers are trained.

Is lunch provided at GenieHouse?

No, the programme starts at 1:30 PM, after school lunch. A tea snack is included at 4:30 PM. Lunch is also not included in the optional holiday morning care add-on.

What is the withdrawal process for GenieHouse?

Parents give written notice by the 1st of the month to withdraw the following month (one calendar month's notice), with a 1 month deposit (amount depends on your rate — $654 incl. GST at the founding rate) as part of the enrollment agreement.

What does it cost to enrol in GenieHouse, in full?

Enrolment has three parts: a one-time $80 registration fee, a deposit equal to 1 month's fee (amount depends on your rate — $654 incl. GST at the founding rate, correspondingly higher at the regular rate), and the recurring monthly fee itself — $600/month (excl. GST) at the founding member rate, or $780/month at the regular rate, covering all 4 subjects with no per-subject add-ons. The only other optional cost is holiday morning care (7:30 AM–1:30 PM) at $20/day, before GST.

What is the staff-to-student ratio at GenieHouse?

Cohorts range from 8 to 20 students.

What should a good student care curriculum include, besides homework help?

An effective after-school curriculum moves far beyond simple homework supervision. It should actively foster social-emotional skills, critical thinking and resilience — for example through structured character-development programmes, or by integrating lessons on collaboration, problem-solving and conflict resolution into daily activities. Look for centres that also offer enrichment activities like coding, speech and drama or sports to spark your child's creativity. School holiday programmes are excellent for exploring these interests in greater depth. Ultimately, choose a centre that matches your family's goals — if you want a strong academic foundation, select a provider designed specifically to deliver that support.

What are the most crucial questions to ask before choosing a student care centre?

The most crucial questions to ask before choosing a student care centre cover seven key areas: safety protocols, staff qualifications and ratio, curriculum beyond homework, the daily routine, health and hygiene policies, parent communication methods and a full breakdown of all fees. Asking detailed questions in these areas helps you perform thorough due diligence and find a safe, supportive environment for your child.

What are the most important practical factors when choosing student care in Singapore?

The most important practical factors when choosing student care in Singapore are the centre's location, its operating hours and its process for reliably fetching your child from school. A centre located conveniently near your child's school or your home reduces travel stress, while operating hours should offer a buffer for potential work or traffic delays.

Why are school holiday programmes at a student care centre important?

School holiday programmes are important because they show a centre's commitment to continuous development beyond the normal school term. These programmes for the June and December holidays provide a valuable opportunity for children to build skills like teamwork and communication through unique activities not typically available during term time.

How can I assess the quality of teachers at a student care centre?

You can assess the quality of teachers by asking about their qualifications, experience and the centre's teacher-to-student ratio, where a lower ratio often means more individual attention for younger students. It is also a good sign if the centre invests in ongoing professional development for its staff, as this signals a commitment to high-quality mentorship and support for your child.

How important is staff quality and the staff-to-child ratio for student care in Singapore?

Staff quality and a low staff-to-child ratio are critical for effective student care in Singapore, as the programme's quality rests on its caregivers. It is important to ask about teachers' qualifications, experience and first-aid training, as well as the staff-to-child ratio, with a lower number than 1:15 being better for providing individual attention. You should also inquire about staff turnover, as high turnover can be a red flag.

What specific safety protocols should I look for in after-school care?

You should look for specific safety protocols like the presence of CCTVs, a secure check-in and check-out process for all visitors and documented emergency procedures for fire or medical incidents. A centre's ability to provide detailed answers about staff training for emergencies and transport safety indicates that safety is a core part of their culture.

How can I make sure there are no hidden costs for student care?

To ensure there are no hidden costs, you should ask the student care centre for a complete, written breakdown of all fees beyond the basic monthly rate. Specifically inquire about additional charges for meals, learning materials, special holiday programmes or field trips. Understanding the full financial commitment and the withdrawal policy upfront prevents future misunderstandings.

Are school-based student care centres cheaper than community ones?

Yes, school-based student care centres are generally more budget-friendly than community-based options. Their lower cost is partly because they use existing school facilities. Additionally, eligible families can receive government subsidies like the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) Student Care Fee Assistance (SCFA) for these centres, making them a more financially accessible choice for many.

What is the main difference between a school-based and a community-based student care centre?

The main difference is location and convenience, with school-based centres operating within the primary school grounds and community-based student care located in residential areas. School-based student care offers maximum convenience as children do not need to travel, while community-based centres require transport but may be closer to home. This distinction also leads to other differences, such as community centres often having more purpose-built facilities and flexible programmes compared to the more basic, curriculum-aligned structure of school-based options.

Do all student care services in Singapore just supervise homework?

No, many student care services in Singapore offer more than just homework supervision, with a focus on holistic development and structured learning. While school-based centres align closely with the MOE curriculum focusing on homework and spelling, community-based centres often have greater autonomy. This allows them to provide a wider range of enrichment activities, which can include specialised academic coaching, coding or arts programmes.

Is a student care centre in Yishun or Bukit Batok better if my child's school isn't nearby?

A community-based student care centre in a residential area like a Yishun student care centre or a student care centre Bukit Batok can be an ideal choice if it is located conveniently near your home or workplace, even if your child's school is elsewhere. This option simplifies evening pick-ups for the family. While it requires arranging transport from the school to the centre, some private providers even offer school bus services to make these logistics easier for parents looking for after-school care in their neighbourhood.

Can I find an Islamic student care centre in Singapore?

Yes, it is possible to find a private community-based Islamic student care centre in Singapore that integrates religious values into its daily schedule. The private sector for student care caters to diverse needs, and this includes offering options for families who want their child's after-school care to align with their religious beliefs. These specialised centres are a key example of the programme flexibility offered by community-based providers.

Q: How is GenieHouse different from a normal student care centre?

Standard student care centres supervise homework but don't verify whether it's correct, so errors go unnoticed and compound. GenieHouse checks and corrects every piece of homework, turns those errors into personalised follow-up practice, and sends parents a monthly progress report per subject.

Q: What happens during school holidays?

GenieHouse stays open through all MOE school holidays. An optional holiday morning care add-on (7:30 AM–1:30 PM) extends coverage to a full day for parents who need it.
