Maheswari Family

We are glad we chose EtonHouse Nature Pre-school for Kabir when we moved to Singapore. Moving countries was a big change for him, but the environment was so welcoming and the teachers and staff so friendly and loving, that he settled in very well, very soon. It is a great campus with tons of outdoor activities and ample space for independent inquiry and thinking. Kabir looks forward to coming to school everyday. Special mention for Ms Radhiah and Ms Su Yan – warm, loving and ever-smiling and taking such good, parent-like care of children. Kabir loves them and loves the school. Thank you EtonHouse!

Mathur Family

Our younger son Ameya, has been at EtonHouse 718 Mountbatten since 2022.

The proximity to our house and the school’s outdoors were the initial considerations that made us enroll him here.

But then we saw a very nurturing and thriving environment being offered by the teachers and other staff members. The teaching styles are tailored to cater for each child’s needs. Ameya is always happy going to school and surprises us with his learnings.

Lee family

When we moved to Singapore, my wife and I decided to focus on a school for our children as a top priority. Our daughter had flourished in a Montessori program in America, and we wanted a school with a similar focus on self-directed education and developing an eagerness to learn.

We toured a number of EtonHouse campuses across Singapore and fell in love with the beautiful campus and fantastic outdoor space at EtonHouse Nature Pre-School. The students we encountered seemed so happy as they explored the environment around the school, and we selected EtonHouse Nature Pre-School for our children.

Our two children have now been at EtonHouse for three terms now, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. Serena loves her teachers – special shout out to the teachers of N2 Arowana – and is always so excited when they get to school in the morning. Thanks to EtonHouse for making a second home for our daughter!

Xu Family

漫森非常幸运，在刚刚入学、还没有安全感的时候遇到了您们。他在家里时常提起老师们对他的陪伴，使我们非常放心。

同时，老师们也特别注重培养孩子的独立性。漫森在老师的引导下，开始学会自己穿鞋、自己吃饭，这些小小的进步让我们感到十分欣喜。

短短两个月里，他的英语也有了质的飞跃，时常会将学校学到的英文单词和歌曲展示给我们。能够感受到学校在课程设置上的用心，这也是为什么我们在他刚入学时就忍不住向朋友推荐这所学校。

孩子能在这样优质的环境中成长，是我们的幸运。未来漫森在学校有您们一路陪伴，我们也很放心。

衷心感谢老师们的辛勤付出！

Lindie Oppermann, mum of Neine, Carli and Nadia

There were two main reasons why I chose this school – the environment and the curriculum. Throughout the years that I have been at the school, I have also come to love and appreciate other aspects such as the wonderful teachers and staff, the high level of interaction between the parents and the teachers, and the strong social aspect of the parent community.

The school environment is so beautiful and inviting. As a school influenced by the Reggio Emilia approach, it uses the environment as the ‘third teacher’ so careful attention is paid to the look and feel of the classrooms, the ateliers, and the outdoor spaces, with great consideration and priority being given to natural materials.

The classrooms are bright and spacious, with lots of natural light. The school has two large sandpits, a vegetable garden, sensory gardens, a water course, a tricycle track, climbing structures, in addition to sufficient open green space.

Along the walkways, there is always something inviting exploration – an easel with paint, a basket of books, a chalkboard, some balls of yarn for winding around a chair or a column, some flowers frozen in blocks of ice, an overhead projector showing a video on the wall, a tub of sand with brushes inside, a water wall, etc. Often you will find the parents playing with these provocations too!

The school is a candidate for the IB World School (Primary Years Programme) and this was an important factor to me. I wanted a curriculum that was child-led and play-based, which is what the school is about. Within the framework of different units of inquiry, the students take charge of their own learning – what they learn is driven by their own theories and research, working collaboratively with each other, discovering and exploring together. I am continually amazed by how motivated the children are when they are in control of their own learning, and I am always impressed with their ideas and creativity.

Our family has been part of EtonHouse Nature Pre-School for more than 5 years. All three of our daughters went to school here – we have had kids at this school all the way through from Pre-Nursery to K2! 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. I often joke that I wish I could re-do my own kindergarten career right here at EtonHouse Nature Pre-School! I feel forever grateful that we could be part of this diverse, caring, kind and stimulating school community. I can recommend this school whole-heartedly!

Nivedita Subramaniam, mum of Akshara and Advait

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. My kids are really happy coming to school every day and it’s really a home away from home for them. I don’t think I could have found a better school for my kids and I am extremely satisfied with my decision

Micky and Sandeep Mathur (parents to Saanjali and Saranya)

The emotional, social and physical development of young children shapes their overall personality as an adult they will become. Children learn best in an environment which allows them to play, discover & explore. EtonHouse Nature Pre-School fills the bill in all these aspects.

We have been very happy with the school’s enquiry based learning approach as they follow the Reggio Emilia style of teaching. We put our older daughter in N1 here and the younger one started in PN. It’s been a great experience with both of them. The teachers have been extremely helpful and the environment is wonderful. I’ve visited the school at varying times of the day and I’ve been glad to notice how engaged the teachers are with their students. 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 Nature Pre-School for its fun based learning approach, hands-on teachers and beautiful surroundings.

Nora, mum of Lillie and Max

We enrolled at EtonHouse International Pre-School by chance as we did not do any research prior, it has been one of the best decisions we have made.  EtonHouse is a wonderful preschool with very personable, dedicated and caring staff.

We have had 2 of our children attending this school and both have learnt so much and have developed as individuals.  The wonderful staff make each and every child feel special (they know each child at the school by name) whilst providing them with the special and academic skills needed as they make the transition from pre-school to “big school”. Our son has since moved on to “big school”  and have benefited from the strong foundation he received from EtonHouse, he’s doing really well and is a well-adjusted and confident young man.

Our daughter is currently in K2, she has been at the centre since pre-nursery.  It is so wonderful to see her growing in confidence, personally and academically and I attribute much of this development to the way she is cared for and taught while at EtonHouse. The level of care and dedication displayed by the principal and the staff is second to none. The school has a strong sense of community, you feel like you are part of an extended family.

A warm thank you to the staff for the wonderful experience they have provided for our children.

Bree Kopti, mum of Elijah and Alexes Kopti

My eldest son joined N2 at EtonHouse Nature Pre-School, just 2 weeks after our arrival to Singapore. Our youngest commenced just before he turned 2. From the moment we saw the school during the tour, there was no questioning. We had viewed some of the large scale international schools, which I felt were just too big for a small person. EtonHouse Nature Pre-School has a nice balance of student size and a wonderful expansive outdoor play area, set up with well thought out provocations to entice curious minds. For our family, choosing a school comes with an emotional reaction and ‘that’ feeling. Watching our children’s faces light up with excitement as they explore the various play areas and engage with educators – the teaching staff immediately caught the attention of my 3yo during the tour. Having supportive and nurturing teaching staff is really important to our family, given the ever-changing world our kids live in as expats. I cannot commend them enough on their enthusiasm, kindness, patience and encouragement.

We have not looked back. Our boys are thriving as they grow in confidence and ability. The play-based learning style has really caught the attention of my two boys; my now 4yo so excited to tell me about the amazing things he has learned, writing me stories and drawing detailed pictures. My now 3yo asking every day of the holidays ‘is it a school day yet’, and coming home from school in a gloriously happy mood.

We receive daily photo’s and details about the day’s events, which we use as a prompt for the boys to tell us about their school day. On pick up and drop off the educators take the time to comment on individual details or observations about our children. Our boys love to see their friends and show us their favourite play areas at the school community events; pyjama parties, carnivals, picnics…which prove to be a chilled out catch up for the parents too! Suffice to say, we are thrilled at the opportunity for our boys to enjoy such a positive start to school life.

Chris Lee and Yuri Kim, parents of Anna and Kate Lee

Our family had just moved from another country and finding a good pre-school for our two daughters was critical for us and EtonHouse has turned out to be such a blessing. Our core focus was providing our children with an environment where they could build curiosity and nurture the urge to want to learn, rather than learning facts and skills they could learn later. EtonHouse provided just that while showing them that school is foremost a fun and enjoyable place to be. As a parent, it is hard to ask for more from a school when you see their children running out the door every morning just eager to go to school.

Natalie Loo’s Parents

Natalie has been in EtonHouse Nature Pre-School for the last two years. As this is the very first school that she has attended, we were worried that she would have a hard time settling in, but the teachers have been very attentive and supportive of her development needs. Within a short period of time, our timid little girl who spoke very little English started conversing confidently with her teachers and participating in class activities.

We are extremely delighted to see our daughter go to school daily with a big smile. The teachers are passionate and patient in educating the young minds. It is a shame that K2 is coming to an end and Natalie will have to leave the teachers and peers whom she had formed a strong bond with but I guess this is all part of growing up.

Experience our preschool and be a part of our close-knit community.
