SPARK Certification

SPARK stands for the Singapore Preschool Accreditation Framework.

It is a comprehensive quality assurance system.

SPARK certification is not just a label; it’s a rigorous process that ensures the highest standards of preschool education. It helps centre principals improve how they teach and run the school, starting with setting baseline standards, conducting a self-appraisal, and undergoing an external assessment by the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) to validate the self-appraisal.

We are proud to share that about ninety percent of our eligible PCF Sparkletots preschools have achieved the SPARK certification. Many also excel in critical areas, such as implementing innovative teaching methods, developing comprehensive and age-appropriate curricula, demonstrating strong leadership and management, and employing effective pedagogical approaches.

A Spark Certification is a testament to our commitment to excellence and the quality of education we provide.

It underscores the high-quality, affordable preschool education offered by PCF Sparkletots.
