So we visited Eton house's open day, a nursery near Orchard which is great, near to our place nothing to complain about, the set up is very different from what we had imagined. They emphasise on learn while playing. The whole setup is very fun and is very engaging.
Upon arrival of the place which is just next to the main road of Orchard Road, we were welcomed by their head principal at the door, we were the first couple to reach the place and immediately the principal handed over to a teacher waiting for us.
She greeted us with a big smile and started to show us around. We went through a few of their rooms and she explained to us what are the key activities arranged by the nursery.
The environment is very spacious and cultivating. Those kids would be playing with shadows, sand, construction toys, sensory tasting and more. The school is trying to cultivate curiosity in the child from very young age.
At the end of the tour, we were being ushered to a room, where we were being briefed by a lady about their school fees and their administration part. As our child is not born yet, booking now seems to be rather early.
After that briefing, we went to a garden outside the building and had some light refreshment. A few couples were sitting down at the area.
Conclusion,
- Price is above average
- There is a gap if the child is to transfer from international school to local school.
- No fixed curriculum
- Not sure if is worth the money that we are paying
- On top of the school fees, we still have to fork out the money to take care of him after school and someone to be there for him when Jenny is away
