Our ecosystem of partners plays a key role in supporting the
holistic development of our KidSTART children and their families.

Such partnerships have allowed us to deliver services to families more effectively, by tapping on each other’s strengths and experiences; and to support even more children and families.

Multi-Disciplinary Training (MDT) Programme

To effectively meet the diverse needs of our KidSTART families, it is critical that our practitioners are well-trained and equipped with broad-based knowledge and skills across healthcare, child development and social work to support a child’s development.

Launched by the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) and Temasek Foundation (TF), in partnership with Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) and Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS), the Multi-Disciplinary Programme for Enhancing Child Development comprises of (i) a Foundational Training programme and (ii) an In-Service Training programme to enhance the capabilities of KidSTART practitioners.

The Foundational Training conducted by NYP in collaboration with KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital and National Institute of Early Childhood Development, provides practitioners with limited or no prior work experience, with multi-domain knowledge and skills and an understanding of the challenges faced by low-income families.
