Beaconhouse Schools, well known for their finest curriculum and excellent childcare, have over 13 schools (Pre-schools, Private National Schools and International Schools) located strategically within the Klang Valley. We have a total of 9 Preschools, 3 of which, the Beaconhouse Newlands Early Years (BNEY) focuses on the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum. Beaconhouse Newlands Early Years, Bangsar is located in a beautiful bungalow surrounded by lush greenery in a quiet, serene cul-de-sac neighbourhood off Jalan Pantai. It has so much to offer for the local community, especially in terms of providing quality Early Childhood Education to those living in the area.
As I arrived, the sight of BNEY Bangsar blew my mind. It was huge! The school compounds, set on a spacious two-storey corner lot, is well-guarded with high gates, CCTVs, and security personnel to ensure safety of the students inside. When I set foot inside the school, I was greeted by welcoming staff and was led to the Principal, Ms. Sarah Hockley, ready and waiting for me.
Ms. Sarah Hockley is an experienced Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) educator with over 30 years of experience under her belt. She moved to Malaysia and started her journey with BNEY in early 2019.
BNEY Bangsar offers the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, a highly sought-after, quality, curriculum from the UK, where learning revolves around the child. EYFS outlines 7 areas of learning and development which are then divided into prime and specific areas. Prime areas highlight on personal, social, and emotional growth, physical development, and communications while specific areas cater more towards the child’s literacy, mathematics, arts & craft skills, and help children understand the world. The school also offers the esteemed Cambridge Primary curriculum for their Primary 1 students.
Young learners at BNEY will develop valuable skills and values with the help of teachers through stories, lessons, and by interacting with their peers. The 9 core values which the school aim to inculcate in each child are creativity & innovation, empathy, digitally literate, analytical, globally aware, inquisitive, resolute, and keeping healthy & active.
The school accepts children as young as 18 months up to 6 years old. Half-day, extended hours, and full-day programmes are available for all age groups at different, yet affordable price points.

The school also stresses on the importance of hiring teachers who are passionate in what they do and help each child develop the 9 core values as highlighted in the Learner Profile. Teachers here have excellent ideas and are creative when it comes to lesson planning and teaching while are still able to deliver effective learning for the students. They are also given in-house training in various areas, especially in communication, or if they need a refresher once in a while. Ms. Sarah believes that teachers need to have excellent communication skills to ensure smooth teacher-parent and teacher-child communication.
What’s better than a school that loves it’s children? A school that appreciates their parents too! BNEY understands the importance of parents being involved and immersed in their child’s learning. Here, parents are encouraged to play a part in their child’s education through various programmes at the school. Parents will get important updates via LittleLives, an app the school uses to communicate. Other than that, regular phone calls and emails are used to update the parents. Parent-teacher conferences allow space for the teachers and parents to discuss about their child’s growth and development, and to discuss solutions for any obstacles the child might be facing during their time at the school.
