Looking for playgroups in Singapore where you and your little one join in together? Parent-accompanied classes give babies and toddlers their first taste of music, movement, gym and sensory play while you bond and watch them grow. This guide gathers ten established providers running parent-child sessions for children from around six months to four years, each checked against its own website or an official listing.

1. The Little Gym Singapore

The Little Gym runs weekly parent-and-child classes built around developmental gymnastics, with age bands starting at around four months and progressing to age three. A grown-up takes part throughout, moving through songs, ball play and simple obstacle activities that the centre frames as building physical, cognitive and social-emotional skills together. It operates two Singapore locations, one in the west and one in the east.

2. My Gym Singapore

My Gym offers structured children's-fitness classes grouped by stage, from Young Waddlers and Waddlers for the youngest up to Gymsters for toddlers, with parents warmly invited to join the younger sessions. Classes use songs, games and soft, padded equipment in small supervised groups, and the provider describes its approach as 'purposeful play' aimed at coordination, confidence and social skills. It runs several centres around the island.

3. Tumble Tots Singapore

Tumble Tots is an established physical-play programme that moves babies and toddlers through balance, climbing and coordination activities using its own colourful apparatus, beginning with Gymbabes from around six months. A parent or caregiver joins the younger children on the equipment, with sessions grouped by age up to the preschool years. It runs centres in several parts of Singapore.

4. Kindermusik

Kindermusik is an international early-childhood music-and-movement curriculum taught in Singapore by licensed local studios, with parent-accompanied classes designed to run from birth. Sessions weave singing, instrument play, movement and vocal exploration around themed units, and are grouped so that babies and toddlers move up as they grow. A licensed studio offers weekly and trial classes at Rochester Mall and in Katong.

5. Our Music Studio

Our Music Studio focuses on music and movement for young children, with Musical Babes for babies from around four months and Rhythmic Tots for toddlers, each joined by one accompanying adult so caregiver and child take part together. The studio teaches through the Orff-Schulwerk approach, blending song, percussion, movement and play, and provides the instruments used in class. It is based at Tanglin Mall.

6. The Music Scientist

The Music Scientist runs parent-accompanied music-and-movement classes, beginning with Tenderfeet for babies and Happyfeet for toddlers, and adds preschool-readiness and science-themed programmes for older children. Its sessions lean on original songs, percussion and sensory activities, which the school frames as harmonising music and movement to support early development. Classes are held at Tampines and Marine Parade.

7. Lucy Sparkles & Friends

Lucy Sparkles & Friends is a performing-arts company offering music, drama and dance for young children, with parent-accompanied music classes starting from birth through its Tiny Sparkles, Baby Sparkles and Toddler Sparkles stages. The team describes a Kodaly- and Dalcroze-informed approach that uses singing, movement and gentle sensory play to build early musicality and caregiver bonding. Classes run in venues across several parts of the island.

8. Little Forest

Little Forest runs gentle adult-accompanied playgroups for the very youngest, with Mini Troopers in English and a Mandarin-based Mini Mandarin built around music, movement, sensory play, storytelling and a shared snack. A parent stays beside their baby throughout, and the centre keeps familiar weekly routines to help little ones feel settled enough to explore. It is located in Kovan.

9. TinyDinos

TinyDinos is a parent-accompanied sensory playgroup for babies and toddlers, roughly six to twenty-four months, centred on hands-on 'messy play' alongside songs and parent-and-child movement. Each session mixes free play, singing, dance and a couple of sensory activities the founders describe as engaging the senses and supporting physical, language and social development. Its classes are held near the Singapore Sports Hub in Kallang.

10. Tippytoes Music Playgroup

Tippytoes is a small parent-accompanied music playgroup in the Katong area, welcoming babies and toddlers from around eight months to two years. Caregivers stay alongside their child through 45-minute sessions of live singing, rhythm, instruments and creative sensory play, in mixed-age groups meant to feel warm and community-like. The playgroup describes its activities as holistic and sensory-rich.

How to choose

  • Check the age bands and whether the class is genuinely parent-accompanied, since most playgroups group babies, crawlers and toddlers separately and caregiver involvement matters most under about eighteen months.
  • Decide what you want the session to centre on, whether that is music and movement, gym and physical play, or open-ended sensory and messy play, as providers specialise quite differently.
  • Sit in on a trial class if one is offered, and watch the group size, the pacing and how teachers include both the child and the caregiver.
  • Confirm the location, session length and weekly schedule fit your routine, and ask how make-up classes and the term structure are handled before committing.
  • Ask what a session actually involves, whether instruments and materials are provided, and how the class adapts as your child grows into the next age band.
