Honestly, from what I've heard, PCF Sparkletots does allow you to visit the centre before committing, it's worth calling your specific branch directly since experiences can vary quite a bit between locations. Someone in my mum group mentioned that some branches were quite welcoming for a pre-enrolment look-around, while others were more limited in what they'd let you observe, so it really depends on the centre head. On the first-day observation question, most parents I've spoken to say full in-class observation isn't usually offered, but the teachers do give you a proper handover and settling-in window, which is better than nothing. For enrolment, do have your child's birth certificate, both parents' NRICs, health booklet, and vaccination records ready, they're quite thorough about the checklist. Overall, Sparkletots has a solid reputation as an anchor operator with subsidies to help with fees, but I'd say visit at least two or three branches before deciding, since the individual teachers really make the difference.
