Below two threads will give an overall idea about average expenses in Singapore, you may refer below links as ref (in Singapore, nothing much has changed in a year, as your kid will be in K2, so you may look into near by pre-schools where fees vary from $500 to $900 but next year when he will join P1 then he may not get local school due to policies are in place, so fees of an International school may vary between $1200 to $2000 per month).
