What Makes The EtonHouse City Pre-School Special?

Rooted in the EtonHouse Inquire.Think.Learn curriculum and inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, our bilingual environment nurtures capable and confident learners. Purposefully designed learning spaces encourage creativity, collaboration, and meaningful connections. By embracing the dynamic energy of the city—its architecture, culture, and people—we empower children to see themselves as active participants in an ever-evolving world.

Infant Care Now Open

Our boutique Infant Care programme offers personalised care and early education for infants from 6 months of age. Designed to nurture each child's natural curiosity, our environment invites exploration and discovery through age-appropriate books, toys, and sensory experiences that support cognitive and motor development.

With a low teacher-to-infant ratio, every child receives the dedicated attention they need to grow confidently, safely, and joyfully in their earliest months.

Our innovative early childhood experience at The EtonHouse City Pre-School is built on three key pillars:

Children Protagonists of the City: Our central location transforms the city into a dynamic learning environment, where children discover the stories behind iconic buildings and explore architectural elements through hands-on projects. Curated learning journeys connect them with professionals—such as architects, bankers, lawyers, and business owners—providing real-world insights into the industries that shape our city. These experiences help children understand how buildings are designed, how communities work together, and their own roles within the larger urban landscape.

Flexible Care for Today’s Families: Designed to meet the evolving needs of modern families, we offer enrolment options with 5 half-day or full-day programmes. Our operating hours are from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm to support working parents' schedules. These hours are further enriched with thoughtfully curated extracurricular experiences, providing children with meaningful engagement beyond the classroom. We also offer Holiday Programmes during term breaks to ensure continuity of care and learning.

We take pride in our Open Door Policy, which welcomes parents into the school to drop off and pick up their child directly from the classroom, and to connect with our educators for meaningful conversations about their child’s day. School bus pick up and drop off service is available at the designated drop off point.

Innovative Learning Spaces: The EtonHouse City Pre-School is built on the belief that the environment serves as the third educator, guiding children on a journey of discovery and hands-on exploration. This vibrant city-centre preschool will spark curiosity, inspire exploration, and immerse young learners in the dynamic energy of the urban landscape. Through hands-on experiences, creative arts, and interactive learning, children will discover the stories behind the city while developing a deep connection to their surroundings.

Learner's Loft: A vibrant space where the amphitheater and library come together to enrich the learning experience, providing children with a unique environment for exploration, creativity, and expression.
Outdoor Adventure Park: Our playground blends natural elements within the urban setting, allowing children to connect with nature while developing essential physical and cognitive skills.
ReAldo Lab: A creative laboratory filled with loose parts and open-ended resources where children transform ordinary materials into extraordinary creations.
Atelier of Lights: An immersive space where children explore and express their ideas through light, shadow, and colour using interactive projections and sensory-rich experiences.

Passionate And Highly Qualified Educators

The only school in Singapore that works directly with the Reggio Children International Network, its educators receive high-quality professional learning on the Reggio Emilia approach. As one of the few education groups in Singapore with a dedicated research and training arm, we also have a dedicated research and training arm that allows our educators to receive ongoing professional development throughout the year and access the resources to continuously improve their curriculum.

Immersive Language Programmes

Our bilingual environment lays a strong foundation in language literacy, with both English and Mandarin educators present throughout the day, making language acquisition natural and spontaneous. We also offer a dedicated Japanese programme led by our in-house specialist for native Japanese-speaking children. Non-native children in Kindergarten 1 and 2 may opt to join a weekly Japanese language class conducted after curriculum hours.

ZhongHua Full Mandarin Immersion

ZhongHua Full Mandarin Immersion programme has been popular with our EtonHouse families at Zhong Hua, Upper Bukit Timah and Newton. Pre-Nursery to Kindergarten 1 children will get to experience a full Mandarin inquiry-based curriculum. ZhongHua Full Mandarin Immersion aims to cultivate fluency in the Chinese language and increase multicultural awareness. Children will build an understanding, acceptance and respect of other languages and cultures while developing knowledge, appreciation and sensitivity to different cultures.

Our Commitment to Providing Nutritious Food

Our school takes immense pride in offering an extensive array of delectable meals, meticulously curated by a certified nutritionist. Each dish is thoughtfully designed by our culinary team, led by skilled chefs who dedicate utmost care to sourcing the finest ingredients to boast exceptional nutritional value.

With a conscious approach, we prioritise minimal sugar content in our offerings. Our culinary strategies include utilising fresh chicken and a variety of fish, such as salmon, red snapper, grouper, and barramundi. We incorporate ingredients like onions and carrots to infuse natural sweetness into vegetables, steering clear of sugar additives.

Our commitment to quality extends globally, as seen in our use of organic jams from France and our choice of fresh milk from Australia ensures the absence of GMOs.

Pathway to Primary, Secondary and High School

Upon graduation, families can choose to stay within the EtonHouse family. We have three Primary Schools across the island, including our EtonHouse Orchard campus that offers a powerful pathway from Primary to High School. EtonHouse Broadrick is another popular campus families choose for their IB Primary Years Programme (PYP).
