In CareHuts, our students are given well-balanced meals in the form of lunch and afternoon tea breaks daily. During school vacations, our centres operate on a full day programme and morning tea breaks are also made available for the students.
As these children are in rapid growth stage (7 to 12 years old), serving balanced meals supports their normal growth and development, and reduces the risk of developing chronic lifestyle related diseases later in life. We also believe that with adequate nutrition, children will be more focused in structured activities as their energy level is contained. This will in turn have a positive effect on their schoolwork.
CareHut is a school-based student care centre which caters mainly to children from low-income and/or single-parent families. Donations and sponsorships from the public enable CCSS to subsidize CareHut fees for children who require our service but are unable to afford the full student care fees.
There are 4 CareHut centres islandwide -
CareHut@Stamford, CareHut@New Town,CareHut@Jiemin and CareHut@Eunos
