The school follows the EtonHouse Inquire.Think.Learn curriculum, which is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach. It serves Pre-Nursery to Kindergarten 2 for children aged 18 months to 6 years, providing a through-train pathway within the EtonHouse network that includes internationally recognised programmes such as IB PYP, IGCSE and International A-Levels for older students.
The campus features spaces designed for hands-on creative learning, including Noah's Ark, a MakerSpace, and a Digital Landscape Nature Atelier, with a garden area for experiential activities.

The programme provides an immersive bilingual environment with English and Mandarin, exposing children to both languages from a young age and emphasising cultural immersion through language learning. Cross-cultural inquiry is integrated into learning through island-based and global projects.
I Learn with My Community is a pillar of the campus, and part of the pre-school experience includes an edutainment hub on weekends that engages families in social and learning activities.
