The rules will be implemented together with the current set of Covid-19 rules in place at pre-schools, including more cleaning, temperature and health checks up to three times a day, and cohorting in centres.
From Saturday to May 30, only people who are needed to support operations within centres, those performing necessary functions such as licensing, and parents accompanying newly enrolled children will be allowed into centres.
All other parents will not be allowed in.
Pre-schools and early intervention centres are advised to conduct parent-teacher conferences online, and conduct virtual tours for prospective students, said ECDA.
Contractors providing supplementary programmes such as enrichment will only be allowed to serve up to four pre-schools during this period, to reduce the risk of transmission between centres.

SINGAPORE: Pre-schools and early intervention centres will tighten visitor admissions, allowing only those needed to support operations and perform necessary functions, and parents accompanying newly enrolled children to enter.
SINGAPORE - The families of pre-schoolers with developmental needs can look forward to more professional and targeted support within the schools in the coming years.
Inclusion coordinators will be appointed at the more than 1,900 pre-schools here and there will be a roll-out of more inclusive education training opportunities for teachers.
Existing support programmes will also be offered at more pre-schools or integrated with pre-schools to reduce shuttling between centres.
These moves by the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) are in response to seven recommendations announced by the inclusive pre-school work group on Friday (April 30).
The work group consulted about 60 participants in two focus group discussions and also received feedback from 900 parents in an online survey.
