EtonHouse Pre-School Broadrick is the early years provision attached to the EtonHouse Broadrick campus in Singapore. It is where the youngest children start, from around 18 months, before they move up into the school's primary stage. The setting is built on a Reggio Emilia inspired philosophy and a dual language inquiry curriculum, so the focus is on exploration, language and curiosity rather than formal academics. Because it sits on the same site as the primary school and feeds the IB Primary Years Programme, it suits families who want a single, continuous start to their child's education.

Approach and early years
The pre-school environment is designed around the Reggio Emilia approach, with the Early Years Garden and classrooms set up as Reggio inspired provocations that invite multisensory inquiry. In practice that means young children are often deeply engaged with natural materials such as sand, water, pebbles, leaves, shells and tree bark, alongside paints, clay, light tables, fabric, blocks, books and early writing and art tools. The idea is to take a child's curiosity seriously and let learning grow from it.
All EtonHouse settings follow the Inquire.Think.Learn curriculum framework, itself inspired by Reggio Emilia, and the group offers a dual language inquiry curriculum from as early as nine months, so children are exposed to a second language well before formal schooling. From Nursery 2 the children begin the IB Primary Years Programme, which gives continuity as they grow through the early years and into the primary school. For parents this is the gentle on ramp to a full IB pathway rather than a standalone nursery.

EtonHouse Pre-School Broadrick fees
Early years fees sit below the full school tuition and are usually quoted by term or by session rather than as a single annual figure, since attendance patterns vary for the youngest children. Our Singapore international school fees guide explains how the city's tiers work and why pre-school pricing is structured differently from the main school. Treat any single figure as a guide and confirm the current early years schedule with the school.
Beyond tuition, budget for a registration fee and a deposit, and check whether meals, enrichment or transport are charged separately. Because children typically move straight up into the primary school, it is worth understanding how fees step up at each stage so there are no surprises later.
Admissions
Entry to the early years is largely rolling, subject to places in each age group, rather than tied to a single annual intake. Admission is a straightforward process for the youngest children, focused on a settling in conversation, the child's routines and any language background, rather than formal assessment. The school will want to understand how to support each child's first experience of a learning environment.
Because younger age groups can fill quickly, early application matters, and families planning the move into the primary school should confirm how a place in the pre-school links to progression into Nursery 2 and the IB Primary Years Programme.
Location and who goes there
The pre-school shares the Broadrick Road site in the east of central Singapore with the EtonHouse Broadrick primary school, a residential pocket within reach of the central and eastern districts where many expatriate families live. The early years community tends to mix newly arrived families settling young children with locally based parents who want a Reggio inspired, dual language start. The big practical draw is continuity: a child can begin here and stay on the same campus into the primary years.
