Glimpses
Parent Testimonial
Hendy Handoko, Parent of Julian, Pre-School by the Beach
All his teachers were genuinely caring and welcoming, and they went the extra mile to make sure Julian felt comfortable. Within just a few days, it was obvious that his favourite place was his new school. Out of the excellent educational programmes, we appreciate Mandarin class the best. Read more here
Jenilee Rawlins Yelland, Parent of Emma, Pre-School by the Beach
We value the location for EtonHouse Pre-School by the Beach as the campus is set in a phenomenal location with views of nature and the ocean! Emma loves learning in nature and she will benefit greatly from the Island as my playground programme in the great outdoors. Read more here
Dalton Family, Pre-School by the Beach
We also love the wildlife that children can naturally encounter around the island. The strong emphasis that EtonHouse places on pastoral care and emotional wellbeing is also extremely important for us, forming positive relationships with teachers and caregivers as well as feeling connected to the school environment we know will positively enhance his development and, most importantly, ensure his happiness.
