The PAP Community Foundation (PCF), which runs 357 kindergarten and childcare centres, said it raised salaries by six to 12 per cent for qualified teachers and centre leaders last month and will undertake a year-long review of its compensation and career-progression policies for staff. Separately, NTUC My First Campus (NFC), which operates 107 My First Skool centres, said it would make a “special adjustment” in additional to its annual increment for its principals, which could mean a raise of up to 16 per cent. For example, a principal with about three to four years of experience in the position and who holds a degree in early childhood education may earn up to S$4,400 after the adjustment. Both operators said they would not be raising fees despite the additional manpower costs. PCF said it would bear the costs with “some funding support” from the Early Childhood Development Agency, while My First Skool would take on the costs on its own.
