Joining a parent community: what we ask, and why

The KiddoSG app is launching soon. This guide shows how it will work.

Communities in Parents' Corner are groups run by parents, for example "Sengkang P1 Parents 2027", "PSLE Maths Help" or "New Mums and Dads Hougang". Here's how to find one and join.

1. Find a community

1. Open Corner in the bottom bar, then Communities.
2. Filter by main topic. Our team sets the main topics, such as Preschool, Primary and PSLE, or Working parents.
3. Tap a community to see what it's about, who the admins are, and who can join.

2. Check who can join

Some communities are open to everyone. Others have conditions set by the admin, shown on the community page:

• Only parents who stay in certain towns, for a neighbourhood group;
• Only parents of children at certain levels, for example P5 and P6;
• The admin approves each new member, or anyone who meets the conditions joins at once.

3. Answer a few questions

Before you join, a community may ask a few short questions. The questions are set by KiddoSG, not written by the admin. The admin only chooses which ones to ask:

• Which town do you stay in?
• Which town is your child's school in? (the town only, never the school's name)
• Your child's level.
• Your child's age.
• Are you the child's parent, grandparent, or guardian or caregiver?
• What would you like from this community? (a sentence or two)

We never ask about race, religion, nationality, politics, income or health. We never ask for a school's name, your address or your phone number. Communities can't be named or set up around those topics either.

4. Who sees your answers

• Only the community's admins see your answers.
• They are deleted once your request is approved or declined, or when you leave.
• Other members see only your username. Your mobile number is never shown.

5. After you join

• Pick a sub-topic to read only what you need, for example "P1 registration".
• Ask or share inside the community. Only members see these posts.
• All the Parents' Corner rules apply: be kind, no children's names or photos, no selling.
• You can leave a community at any time from its menu.

If something feels wrong

Use Report on any post, or on the community itself. Our team checks reports and can remove posts, admins or whole communities.
