About us
We stand with parents of autistic children in their crucial role of nurturing their children’s educational and social development. We understand the delicate balance they face, juggling the academic demands of school and fostering their children’s social and communication skills.
Our after-school care program is specifically designed to address these important challenges. Through a holistic approach, we empower your child to flourish in various aspects of their development.
MOE mainstream autism student care centre in Singapore
Unparalleled learner to therapist/teacher ratio of 2:8
The only after school program in Singapore led by a team of Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), psychologists, behavior therapists, and special needs educators”
Founded 2012
We started our business by providing language services to adults in Singapore. Our plan to include helping autistic children started after the birth of our son.
Our son was born in 2012 and was diagnosed with autism in 2016. The news hit us hard, and we asked many people for advice. People with the best intentions often give us conflicting advice, usually based on personal experience or from someone they know. It was not clinical, and frequently missed out on many important details.
Finding passionate early intervention teachers is challenging. So, back in 2017, we decided to start a website to help parents find the best for their autistic child, from swim coaches to music teachers to someone who can help them academically. It was a simple website, nothing too fancy.
First mainstream autistic-focused after school care
In 2019, when my son started primary school, we realised that there are no after school care centres that focus solely on mainstream autistic children. There are after school care centres that handle autistic kids and also kids of various disorders. This arrangement is not the best as they may neglect a child on the higher spectrum to do well academically. That’s when we decided to start Starlight Centre, and we specialise in caring for kids at the higher end of the spectrum using a clinical-based teaching approach to train them to excel socially and academically.
