Mr Louis Ng Kok Kwang asked the Minister for Social and Family Development whether an update can be provided on the Early Childhood Development Agency's study on extending the Development Support and Learning Support Programme to children who are differently abled at the nursery levels.

Mr Masagos Zulkifli B M M: The Development Support-Learning Support (DS-LS) Programme supports preschool children aged five and six with mild developmental delays or learning needs. In 2021, the Early Childhood Development Agency (ECDA) piloted the extension of the DS-LS programme to children aged three and four in 20 preschool centres. The pilot is still in progress.
