EtonHouse International Pre-School Claymore | Parent and Me Playgroup

Sign up for a truly engaging adult-accompanied playgroup programme with your child and experience the outstanding EtonHouse inquiry-based learning approach.

School Readiness	Through engaging experiences and routines, children will become more familiar with school settings, easing their transition into pre-school. They will participate in circle times, story sessions, and simple group experiences that mirror typical school routines.
Sensory Exposure and Development	Our experiences are carefully curated to stimulate your child's senses. From tactile play with natural materials to exploring different textures, sounds, and smells, children will engage in experiences that enhance their sensory development.
Social Interaction	Children will have ample opportunities to socialise with peers, fostering early friendships and developing social skills. Interaction with other children in a safe and supportive setting encourages cooperation, sharing, and communication.
Adult Engagement	Adults will join their children in experiences, providing a secure base for exploration while also engaging with our experienced educators. This collaborative environment helps children feel comfortable and supported as they interact with new adults and adapt to group dynamics.

Arrival & Welcome Circle: To set the routine and make children feel secure, each session begins with a welcome circle where children and adults gather for greetings, songs, stories, and a brief overview of the day's experiences.

Outdoor/Indoor Sensory & Play Stations: Children and adults explore various sensory and play stations. These stations are designed to stimulate curiosity and encourage hands-on learning. Experiences may include water play, sensory bins, art projects, and nature exploration.

Snacktime: The snack break allows children to enjoy a healthy snack while practicing social skills and eating routines. This time also provides an opportunity for adults to connect and share experiences with each other and the teacher.

Free Play: Children have the opportunity to engage in unstructured play, allowing them to further explore their interests, practice decision-making, and develop independence. adults are encouraged to observe and support their child's play without direct intervention, fostering a sense of autonomy.

Closing Circle: The session concludes with a closing circle where children and adults reflect on their experiences, share their creations, and sing goodbye songs. This routine helps children transition smoothly from class to home.

Miss Eliyana Jahir

Playgroup Facilitator
Diploma in Pre-School Leadership and Teaching

Eliyana (Eli) began her Early Childhood career in 2002. In her career, she has had the amazing opportunity to work with different curriculums and settings which helped strengthen her personal values and philosophy on education. Having worked in a Reggio Emillio inspired setting prior to this for a period of 4 years, Eli has continued to advocate for the importance of learning through play and designing learning environments that allows children to have exposure to open ended and real life materials, develop independence, the opportunity to wonder, investigate as they make sense of the world around them and provide a variety of exposure to different media and materials to unleash their 100 Languages.

Through open communication and strong partnerships with families, Eli strives to create a close community of learners and researchers. As a passionate nature lover, Eli believes that the natural world is a giant, open-ended learning laboratory which provides an intriguing lens for children who are innate scientists to discover as they experience the sights, scents, sounds and textures of the world around them.

Taking nature as inspiration, Eli is excited to incorporate the natural world into the learning spaces and research alongside the children the wondrous possibilities of nature. Eli enjoys capturing moments with her camera, travelling and discovering new places, cultures and languages, reading and scuba diving during her free time.

ROBUST BILINGUAL PROGRAMME

We offer a dual-language environment where both an English and Mandarin teacher plan and facilitate classes together. This cultivates a genuine interest in Mandarin from an early age and offers our students the option of pursuing the language when they advance to Primary School.

RICH TEACHER-TO-CHILD RATIO

Our curriculum’s success relies on meaningful collaborations between our educators and children. This is why we value rich teacher-child ratios — it ensures children get the attention they deserve, and our teachers are able to develop child-responsive learning programmes.
