ABOUT CHILDREN'S AID SOCIETY 

The Children’s Aid Society is registered under the Societies Act and manages the Melrose Home. An Executive Committee is elected from among its members and is the governing body for the Home.

The Children’s Aid Society is among the oldest philanthropic organisations in Singapore, having been formed in the late 1800s as the St Nicholas Home.  Its present name was established in 1902.

Melrose Home provides a supportive environment for children between the ages of 4 to 18 years old, a "home away from home" for children and teenagers who need care and protection in a residential setting. These are children whose parents or family members are unable to provide care or to supervise them. Children of other ages are admitted under special circumstances as well depending on their needs.  

The Home is situated in an elevated position with extensive grounds that include a playground, basketball court and football field. The 6,000 square metre property is owned by the Society.

The Home has the capacity to provide quality residential care for 60 children and 15 teenagers.
