Prioritising Child Well-Being in Singapore – The Time is Now
EveryChild.SG is a movement to prioritise the well-being and holistic development of Singapore’s children.
Every child deserves to grow up in a loving, safe and nurturing environment, – at school, at home, and in the community – supported to develop into a confident, capable, and well-rounded individual.
In Singapore today, children face growing pressures – from an overly competitive education system, the influence of screens and social media, and lack of time for free play and exploration. These challenges affect their mental health, resilience, and well-being, and hinder the development of 21st Century Competencies (21CC).
At EveryChild.SG, our work is driven by the belief that every child should be supported to thrive emotionally, socially, and academically. We also believe that parents, caregivers, educators and professionals should get the resources and support they need to build this environment.

Why Singapore Must Prioritise Child Development Now
How we parent, how schools nurture learning, how society treats children, and how parents/ caregivers are supported, all play a role in shaping children’s futures.
There is currently no single government ministry responsible for the overall well-being and development of children, and support for their caregivers, from birth to adulthood. This has led to gaps in support and piecemeal improvements.
It is time for a more coordinated, high-level focus on prioritising child well-being as a national goal. We need:
- A clear Children’s Strategy;
- One national lead – a Minister for Children; and
- One front door – an ‘AIC for Children’ that children, families and professionals can turn to for help.
Our Focus Areas
Transforming Education
Updating our primary education system to be future-ready – to nurture every child to their fullest potential, while building their creativity, critical thinking, mental resilience, self-esteem and social-emotional skills, to meet the challenges of their and Singapore’s future.
Championing Childhood
Encouraging a culture of parenting and caregiving that is rooted in respect, attachment, and positive discipline, so that every child is nurtured to their full potential. Making child well-being a national priority, driven by a national Children’s Strategy, led by a Minister for Children, and supported by an ‘AIC for Children’.
