Understanding Sibling Discount Policies at Little Olive Tree Preschool Centres
Families are at the heart of everything we do at Little Olive Tree Preschool. We understand that providing quality education for multiple children can present financial challenges for parents. This is why we've established thoughtful sibling discount policies across our 16 preschool centres throughout Singapore. These policies reflect our commitment to supporting families and making our holistic, values-driven education accessible to siblings within the same household.
In this comprehensive guide, we'll explain how our sibling discount structure works, eligibility requirements, application processes, and how these discounts can help your family invest in your children's early educational journey while managing costs effectively. Whether you're currently enrolled with us or considering Little Olive Tree for your children's preschool education, understanding our approach to sibling discounts can help you make informed decisions for your family's future.
The Value of Family at Little Olive Tree
At Little Olive Tree Preschool, operated by Presbyterian Preschool Services (PPS), we recognize that families are the foundation of society and children's development. Our biblical principles remind us that siblings are a blessing, and we believe in supporting families who entrust multiple children to our care. This belief is woven into the fabric of our organizational values and reflected in our sibling discount policies.
Our distinctive curriculum centered around Truth, Beauty, and Goodness prepares children not just academically but develops their character and biblical worldview. When siblings share this educational journey, they reinforce these values at home, creating a harmonious learning environment that bridges school and family life.
With 19 Preschools islandwide, we serve as community partners with parents across Singapore, helping families raise children who will become blessings to society. Our sibling discount policy is one tangible way we support this mission.
Our Sibling Discount Policy Explained
Little Olive Tree Preschool offers a structured sibling discount program designed to provide meaningful financial relief to families with multiple children enrolled in our centres. Our policy is consistently applied across all 16 locations, ensuring that families receive the same benefits regardless of which centre their children attend.
The core principle of our sibling discount structure is simple: as more children from the same family enroll with us, the family receives increasing discount percentages on fees. This graduated approach recognizes the cumulative financial commitment families make when entrusting multiple children to our care.
The discounts apply to the monthly school fees, which helps families manage their ongoing educational expenses more effectively. We've designed this policy to be straightforward and transparent, avoiding complex conditions or hidden limitations.
How Sibling Discounts Are Applied
Our sibling discount system works on a percentage basis applied to the monthly school fees. Here's how the discount structure typically functions:
First Child: Pays full fees (no discount)
Second Child: Receives a 5% discount on monthly school fees
Third Child: Receives a 10% discount on monthly school fees
Fourth Child and Beyond: Receives a 15% discount on monthly school fees
The discounts are applied to the younger siblings' fees, while the eldest child enrolled at Little Olive Tree pays the standard rate. This approach ensures that as families grow and younger siblings join our preschool community, they benefit from increasingly substantial savings.
For example, if your first child is enrolled in our Nursery program and your second child joins our Playgroup, the discount would be applied to the younger child's (Playgroup) fees. If both children are already enrolled and a third sibling joins, the third child would receive the higher discount percentage.
Sibling Discount Eligibility Criteria
To qualify for our sibling discount benefits, families must meet certain eligibility criteria. These requirements ensure that the discounts reach families with genuine needs while maintaining the sustainability of our program:
Family Relationship: Children must be siblings from the same immediate family, living in the same household. This includes biological siblings, step-siblings, or legally adopted children.
Concurrent Enrollment: All siblings must be enrolled at Little Olive Tree Preschool concurrently. The discount applies only during periods when multiple children from the same family are attending simultaneously.
Good Standing: Family accounts must be in good financial standing, with fees paid according to schedule. Overdue accounts may affect discount eligibility until resolved.
Centre Location: Siblings may attend different Little Olive Tree Preschool centres across Singapore and still qualify for the discount. Our system allows for cross-centre application of sibling discounts.
Program Type: Children may be enrolled in different programs (Playgroup, Nursery, Kindergarten) and still receive the appropriate sibling discounts.
We review eligibility on an ongoing basis, particularly during transitions when children graduate from our programs or when new siblings enroll. Our administrative team works closely with families to ensure discounts are applied correctly and consistently.
Financial Planning for Multiple Children
Enrolling multiple children in quality preschool education represents a significant investment in their future. At Little Olive Tree, we encourage parents to incorporate our sibling discount structure into their family's financial planning process.
When considering the cumulative cost of preschool education for multiple children, our sibling discounts can provide substantial savings over time. These savings often allow families to allocate resources to other important aspects of their children's development, such as enrichment activities, family experiences, or future educational funds.
We recommend that parents consider both the immediate monthly savings and the long-term cumulative benefit when evaluating how our sibling discounts affect their family budget. For many families, the progressive nature of our discount structure means that the financial burden actually becomes more manageable as more children join our preschool community.
Parents are welcome to schedule consultations with our administrative team to discuss their specific family situation and understand exactly how the sibling discounts would apply in their case. This personalized approach helps families make informed decisions about their children's education while managing financial considerations effectively.
Frequently Asked Questions About Sibling Discounts
What happens if my older child graduates from Little Olive Tree?
When your older child completes their preschool journey with us, the discount structure adjusts accordingly. If you previously had three children enrolled and one graduates, the two remaining children would be recategorized as first and second children for discount purposes. Our administrative team will notify you of any changes to your discount status well in advance.
Can the discount be combined with other financial assistance programs?
Yes, in most cases, our sibling discounts can be combined with other forms of financial assistance for which your family qualifies. This might include government subsidies or church-affiliated support programs. Our administrative team can provide guidance on how these different forms of assistance work together.
Do I need to reapply for the sibling discount each year?
No, once your family is approved for sibling discounts, the benefit continues automatically as long as you meet the eligibility criteria. However, we do conduct a simple annual review to confirm continued eligibility, particularly when children transition between programs.
How is the discount applied to different fee components?
The sibling discount applies specifically to the monthly school fees. Other costs such as registration fees, material fees, or optional program fees are typically not covered by the sibling discount policy. We provide a clear breakdown of which fees are eligible for discounts during the enrollment process.
What if my children attend different Little Olive Tree centres?
Our sibling discount policy applies across all 19 Preschools islandwide. Your children can attend different centres based on your family's needs and still receive the appropriate sibling discounts. Our centralized administrative system ensures consistent application of discounts regardless of which centres your children attend.
Applying for Sibling Discounts
The process of applying for sibling discounts at Little Olive Tree Preschool is straightforward and designed to be hassle-free for parents. Here's how to ensure your family receives the benefits you're entitled to:
During Initial Enrollment: When enrolling a sibling of an existing student, mention the sibling relationship on the application form. You'll be asked to provide the name and class of the currently enrolled child.
Documentation: Be prepared to provide simple documentation confirming the sibling relationship, such as birth certificates or family identification cards. This is a one-time requirement for verification purposes.
Processing Time: Once verified, sibling discounts are typically applied from the next billing cycle. The process usually takes no more than one billing period to implement.
Confirmation: You'll receive written confirmation of the sibling discount application, including the percentage applied and the adjusted fee amount. This provides clarity and transparency about the benefits received.
Annual Review: While reapplication isn't necessary, we conduct a simple annual review of all sibling discounts to ensure continued eligibility as children progress through our programs.
If you're planning to enroll multiple children in the future, you can indicate this during your first child's enrollment. Our administrative team can provide projections of future costs with sibling discounts applied, helping you plan accordingly.
Additional Financial Support Options
Beyond our sibling discount policy, Little Olive Tree Preschool is committed to making quality, values-based education accessible to families across Singapore. We understand that each family's financial situation is unique, and we offer guidance on additional support options that may be available:
Government Subsidies: We provide assistance in navigating available government subsidies for preschool education, helping families understand eligibility requirements and application procedures.
Flexible Payment Plans: In certain circumstances, we can arrange flexible payment schedules to help families manage their educational expenses more effectively.
Church-Affiliated Support: Through our partnerships with various churches including Bethany Presbyterian Church and Foochow Methodist Church, additional support may be available for families in need.
Financial Counseling: Our administrative team can provide general guidance on budgeting for preschool expenses and maximizing the benefits of available discount programs.

While maintaining appropriate confidentiality, we work to ensure that financial considerations don't become barriers to accessing the nurturing, character-building education that Little Olive Tree provides.
Our goal is to partner with parents in raising children who grow in confidence, curiosity, and Christ-like character. The financial policies we've established, including our sibling discounts, reflect this commitment to supporting families throughout their educational journey with us.
