Early Childhood Industry Digital Plan

Aligned to the Early Childhood Industry Transformation Map (ITM), the Early Childhood Industry Digital Plan (EC IDP) is part of the SMEs Go Digital programme that aims to make simplify  digital adoption for SMEs.

The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), in partnership with the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA), SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) and industry partners, has jointly developed the EC IDP to guide preschool operators in their digital transformation effort and be a part of a fully digital SG. It provides SMEs with a step-by-step guide on how to grow their digital capabilities at each stage of their growth. The IDP will continue to be updated over time as the industry progresses and newer, more relevant technologies are introduced.

The Early Childhood IDP is developed for preschool operators. It supports non-SMEs as well, including preschools, registered charities, institutions of public character (IPCs), and other social service agencies (SSA) operators.

The IDP provides a step-by-step guide on the digital solutions SMEs can adopt to grow digital capabilities at each stage of their growth. For a start, you can use the IDP to find out if your business is digital-ready.

You can refer to the Digital Roadmap of the IDP, as a guide to assess your SMEs’ digital readiness and identify opportunities for going digital and training to raise employees’ digital skills.
