EtonHouse International Pre-School Claymore

EtonHouse International Pre-School Claymore sits on Claymore Road, alongside Orchard Road, and takes children from 18 months to 6 years old (Pre-Nursery to K2). It is part of EtonHouse, the Singapore education group whose founder, Mrs Ng Gim Choo, opened its first pre-school on Broadrick Road after being inspired by her children's experience of British pre-schools in London.

The school uses the EtonHouse Inquire.Think.Learn curriculum, inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, in which inquiry and play build on children's own ideas and theories. Classes are dual-language, with an English teacher and a Mandarin teacher planning and teaching together, and teacher-child ratios are kept generous. EtonHouse says it is the only school group in Singapore working directly with the Reggio Children International Network, and it runs its own research and training arm for teachers.

The community includes children from nearly 30 nationalities and international teaching staff. The campus offers playgrounds, bike tracks, an interactive sandpit, a sustainability garden and the ReAldo lab for creative thinking. Graduates can continue at EtonHouse primary schools such as Orchard or Broadrick.
