Having EtonHouse by the Beach based on Sentosa Island comes with many unique benefits - being close to our local community and able to enjoy all that Sentosa has to offer. It is important to me that my son experiences time outdoors daily. As a forest school educator and trained nurse, wellbeing and time in nature are key components for me. We have placed our name down for EtonHouse Pre-School by the Beach due to the location right by the beach and nature trails. 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.

My daughter Emma attends EtonHouse International School Sentosa and will move to EtonHouse 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.

Jenilee Rawlins Yelland K1 Parent

Julian absolutely loves his school, his teachers and his friends! Joining Islander Preschool has been the best decision we made so far. As he was moving from different infant care, we were quite concerned about him adjusting to a new school environment. But it was clear from day 1 that he is in good hands. 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. Now Julian misses his teachers and friends more than he misses his dada, so his dada is a bit jealous! We are looking forward to Etonhouse Pre-School by the Beach.
