Morning Star Community Services is a registered charity and Institution of Public Character (IPC) which aims to enrich and strengthen family relationships in Singapore. By empowering individuals and families, we strive to build vibrant communities that can make a difference to society.
Founded in 1999 with our first student care centre in Lorong Low Koon, Morning Star Community Services has since expanded to four student care centres across Singapore. We offer a range of impactful programmes, including after-school care, ASPIRE, Brick Club, EXSEL, CareNights, and Family Wellness training programmes. Through these services, we strive to uplift children and families, building strong bonds and fostering resilience within the community.
In a world where challenges to harmonious family relationships are increasing in intensity, Morning Star Community Services also provides upstream, preventive and early intervention programmes, family life education workshops and counselling services.
