SINGAPORE – The PAP Community Foundation (PCF), which operates 360 Sparkletots pre-schools here, has reopened all its schools except the Fengshan centre – it will remain closed till April 7.
The Fengshan centre, which was closed on March 24, has the second largest Covid-19 cluster, with at least 26 confirmed cases. Only Safra Jurong has more confirmed cases.
All Sparkletots pre-schools were shut for four days from March 26 to allow for a thorough cleaning of premises and frequently touched surfaces, including toys, sleeping cots and shared learning resources.
Minister for Social and Family Development Desmond Lee said that the country’s largest pre-school operator has reviewed its standard operating procedures and guidelines with its staff.
This included refresher training on health, hygiene, and safety practices for all staff.
In a March 29 letter to parents, PCF’s chief executive Victor Bay apologised for closing all the centres on short notice, explaining that it was necessary to safeguard the health and well-being of the children and staff.
