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.
Our innovative early childhood experience at The EtonHouse City Pre-School is built on three key pillars:
Urban Explorers in the Heart 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 half-day, 3-day, and 5-day 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.
Innovative Learning Spaces: Our programme nurtures essential 21st-century skills, empowering children to lead with confidence and creativity. Through inquiry-based learning, children develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills. The 'Learner's Loft'—an immersive and interactive space—sparks curiosity and imagination. With features like digital storytelling, interactive wall projections, and creative problem-solving activities, the 'Learner's Loft' transforms learning into an engaging and dynamic experience. Whether exploring an interactive story, solving puzzles, or expressing ideas through digital art, this innovative space will be the heart of creativity and discovery in our new city-centre school.
