Pre-Nursery
Our goal at EtonHouse Mountbatten 718 is to provide a thoughtfully considered and aesthetically beautiful learning environment, designed to stimulate the learning and development of young children 18 months to 6 years of age.
Our curriculum is inspired by our understanding of the work undertaken in the world renowned pre-schools and infant toddler centres in Reggio Emilia, in Northern Italy. We adopt two curriculum frameworks at the pre-school – the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP) in our Nursery 2 to Kindergarten 2 classes, as well as the EtonHouse Inquire.Think.Learn curriculum in our Pre-Nursery and Nursery 1 classes. Both frameworks are play-based and inquiry-based where children’s ideas, interests and theories inform the design of curriculum and learning experiences.
Young children at EtonHouse Mountbatten 718 are respected as competent thinkers and communicators who are offered many opportunities to engage with a wide range of materials and resources to extend and challenge their thinking. Our curriculum invites children to explore, discover, hypothesise, predict, problem solve, construct and document their deepening understanding of the world in which we live. Our approach acknowledges the significance of socio-cultural theory in that children learn via quality interactions and relationships with people, places and things.
We encourage young children to explore their environment and express themselves using multiple languages which may include speaking, singing, movement, drawing, painting, writing, building and designing, collage, dramatic play, and music. Topics of study for project work may be captured from the children’s current competencies, skills, ideas and theories, through family and community events, as well as the best known interests of children that includes enduring childhood themes such as relationships, roles and responsibilities; and identity.

Parent Testimonial


Micky and Sandeep Mathur, Parents of Saanjali and Saranya, M718
It’s a small school which is great for the little ones. You get to know other parents and kids quickly and easily. And since no one nationality dominates, the kids get a cosmopolitan feel and learn to embrace many cultures. I would highly recommend EtonHouse 718 for its fun based learning approach, hands-on teachers and beautiful surroundings. Read more here






Nivedita Subramaniam, Parent of Akshara and Advait, M718
When I was looking for pre-school for my twins, Advait and Akshara, I just wanted a “happy” school with lots of outdoor space for the children to play. The EtonHouse at 718 Mountbatten not only has a big outdoor play area and cozy classrooms but more importantly, the teachers are warm, friendly and nurture children’s inquisitive minds and instil confidence.

This beautiful little school was the perfect place for our children to start their schooling. It is an incredibly friendly environment with a lot of emphasis on relationship building, nature appreciation, the stimulation of the child's natural curiosity, and the appreciation of the child as a wonderful individual. The small class sizes and the great student-teacher ration, of course, help to achieve this. Read more here
