[For childcare/infant care subsidy applications]

You can apply for the one-time Start-Up Grant (SUG) to cover the initial costs of enrolling your child on the same LifeSG Form 1, either via the self-referral or agency-referral approach. SUG’s eligibility criteria can be found on the LifeSG Form 1 itself.

Please ensure that you inform the preschool about your intent to apply for SUG before they generate the LifeSG Form 1. The LifeSG Form 1 will reflect what the preschool keyed into the system based on your decision and cannot be changed through the form.

- If you change your mind and wish to cancel the SUG application, you will need to withdraw the LifeSG Form 1 and inform preschool to retrigger another application.

- If you change your mind and wish to apply for SUG after LifeSG Form 1 has been generated, you must first complete the LifeSG Form 1. Once you have received the subsidy outcome notification, please approach the preschool to apply for SUG via hardcopy Form 2.
