Nurturing Comes First
Genuine Care
Our teachers build strong relationships with each child through small, meaningful interactions. A smile, a laugh, or a thoughtful comment helps students feel seen and supported.
Positive Reinforcement
We use constant, sincere praise to build confidence and motivation. Clear expectation and fair guidance help children feel safe and know what’s expected.
Active, Joyful Learning
Children learn best when they're engaged. Our programs use games, movement, and hands-on materials to make learning fun and memorable.
Meeting Individual Needs
Every child is different. We take the time to understand the needs of each student so we can support their emotional, social, and academic growth.
Educators and Caregivers
Our teachers do more than teach. They care deeply, challenge thoughtfully, and create classroom environments where children can thrive.
Engaging Curiosity
At TIS Kindergarten, we believe that curiosity is the foundation of meaningful learning. Our kindergarten program is designed to engage children’s natural sense of wonder through hands on activities, joyful discovery, and purposeful play. Every part of the day is built to spark questions, encourage exploration, and help students grow into confident, motivated learners.
From storytelling and music to creative projects, games, and movement, our classrooms are full of opportunities for children to explore, experiment, and express themselves. While each activity is rooted in specific developmental goals, it’s the process of discovery that keeps students engaged.
Whether they’re drawing, building, or solving a puzzle, students are encouraged to think independently, ask questions, and interact with the world around them in meaningful ways. Our teachers carefully prepare each activity to ensure it’s developmentally appropriate, enjoyable, and just the right level of challenge so curiosity stays at the center of every learning experience.
Center Time is a favorite part of the day where students work independently or in small groups at rotating activity stations. These centers might focus on building patterns with blocks, practicing math with dice, improving fine motor skills with chopsticks, or even learning life skills like packing a backpack.
This part of the day gives children choice and control, helping them develop independence, patience, and problem-solving skills. The variety keeps them engaged, while the structure allows for deeper exploration and mastery of new concepts over time.
Our Physical Education program goes beyond exercise and is an opportunity for children to explore movement, build confidence, and enjoy being active. Whether running, hopping, throwing, or stretching, students are constantly discovering what their bodies can do and how to move with purpose and coordination.
PE also promotes teamwork, sportsmanship, and emotional awareness. Lessons are structured to develop essential motor skills through playful, engaging activities that encourage curiosity about physical abilities and the world around them. Whenever possible, PE is held outdoors, giving students the added benefit of fresh air and space to explore more freely.
TIS Kindergarten is a place where students feel safe to ask questions, try new things, and enjoy the process of learning. By designing an environment that values curiosity and creativity, we help students build the confidence and skills they need to thrive now and in the future.
An Immersive Environment
At TIS kindergarten, we use an immersion-based approach to help students build confidence and fluency in English. By surrounding children with rich, natural language, we create an environment where English learning happens, organically through play, interaction, and daily routine routines.
Why immersion works:
Faster Language Development
Constant exposure helps young learners acquire vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation more naturally which leads to quicker progress and stronger fluency over time.
Early Bilingual Advantage
Learning a second language in early childhood supports long-term language proficiency and strengthens overall cognitive skills, such as problem-solving and memory.
Cultural Understanding
Children explore global traditions through fun, seasonal events like Tanabata, Halloween, and Christmas, gaining an appreciation for diversity and different ways of life.
Social Growth
Immersion promotes collaboration and communication. Students build friendships, develop empathy, and learn to express themselves confidently in English and beyond.
Theme-Based Learning
Theme-based learning is at the heart of our kindergarten curriculum. While our activities, which include singing songs, role-playing, crafting, reading stories, playing games, and more, may look like pure fun, they’re all part of a carefully structured approach designed to build real-life skills.
Each term, students explore unique Themes (like “My Family” or “My Profile”) that are broken down into focused Topics, each tied to clear developmental goals. Across one to four weeks, children engage in a variety of hands-on experiences that build toward a specific Learning Outcome, such as identifying classroom routines or naming family members.
Our Toddler program is designed for toddlers to learn through sensory-rich, hands-on experiences in a safe, supportive, and English-immersed environment. Using age-appropriate activities that engage touch, sight, sound, smell, and taste, ETE encourages natural curiosity and discovery. English is used as a medium for learning, with teachers, introducing language organically through play, encouragement, and daily routines. Real-life materials and multimedia tools enhance each child’s sensory experience, making learning both exciting and meaningful. In every session, children are supported in building, foundational, social, emotional, and physical skills, like cooperation, self-confidence, motor development, and communication. At TIS kindergarten, we believe toddlers learn best by exploring the world around them. Toddler program gives them the space, language, and encouragement to do just that.
Our three to four -year-old course is an emergent English course for students with little or no exposure to English.Through play and hands-on activities, students learn a variety of different topics through English. Emphasis is based on building confidence in communication as well as listening. At this age, we begin to introduce pre-writing and pre-reading. Each unit lasts one month, and over the course of the year, we cover a wide variety of themes relating to Math, Science, Personal and Social Education, Art, and Social studies.

In their final year, students take the lead. They become responsible for taking leadership roles, managing their time, and working more independently. 21st century skills come more clearly into focus, and the students begin to shift from speaking and listenning to creative story-telling and writing. This is where confidence, curiosity, and independence truly come together.
