EtonHouse International
School (Thomson)
Sarika and Rohit Chulani,
American and British
Rayaan (6), Shayne (4)
Shayne has been enrolled in EtonHouse since August 2013 –
he was at the Orchard branch until last June when the school
relocated to Thomson. Rayaan is currently studying at the
Singapore American School, having attended EtonHouse
Orchard from August 2012 to June 2014.
Our experience at EtonHouse Thomson has been wonderful
for thewhole family. The teachers are truly dedicated; theymake
sure to give the students hands-on experiences by bringing
their ideas to life. The curriculum, as inspired by Reggio Emilia,
focuses on inquiry-based, child-led learning through the play
approach, encouraging students to discover their curiosities.
Our regular involvement in the classroom, along with open
communication with the teachers, makes us feel like part of
the EtonHouse community. I have the comfort of knowing that
my children are in a happy, safe and nurturing environment.
EtonHouse was highly recommended by many of our close
friends whose kids had been enrolled there before. As for us,
we were impressed with the diversity of the school and its
large, vibrant community of students and teachers. We knew
how fantastic the bilingual English and Chinese programme
would be for our children, especially having lived in Hong
Kong and realised the importance of a second language. We
also love the campus – the lush greenery, the huge outdoor
Another important factor is the size of the space – it
isn’t too large, so we can easily see how our kids are
doing and feel more at ease about their safety. Finally,
the great thing about this play centre is that it has a great
restaurant, so parents get to relax and have a good meal
while the children run off some energy!

Go-Go Bambini
Wendy and Craig Riddell, Scottish
Charlotte (6), twins Cameron and
Jonathon (4) and Brodie (2)
When we arrived in Singapore in November 2012, the
twins were still small and I was expecting Brodie. We heard
of Go-Go Bambini through friends who had previously
lived in Singapore – they told us it was a great place for
kids. We also decided to give it a go as we ended up
staying pretty close to Dempsey Hill.
I liked how helpful the staff were with the children,
especially the older children, when I was not in a position
to climb and run around. While all the ladies were really
sweet and treated my children like family, my daughter
Charlotte was especially fond of Flora.
When our kids were younger, we went to Go-Go Bambini
at least three times a week. Nowadays, although they’re at
school, we still enjoy heading there on a weekend.
We would recommend Go-Go Bambini to our friends
and family as the staff are great and the atmosphere is
friendly. They are also known for doing a good job of
hosting fun yet stress-free birthday parties.
garden and the large yet cosy classroom that provides ample
space for the children to move around in.
To top it all, we really appreciate the warmth and
personalised attention given by the staff. We would definitely
recommend the school to our friends.
