Exceptional Learning from the Very Start 

 

At Taipei American School, our youngest learners are challenged, supported, and inspired by exceptional educators who believe children are capable of remarkable things.

At Taipei American School, our youngest learners are challenged, supported, and inspired by exceptional educators who believe children are capable of remarkable things. 

Our Early Childhood faculty create classrooms that are both nurturing and intellectually engaging, setting developmentally appropriate but ambitious expectations for every child. Through inquiry, exploration, and meaningful relationships with teachers and classmates, students learn to ask questions, communicate their ideas, and solve problems with confidence. 

From hands-on discovery and creative expression to early STEAM exploration and collaborative play, young learners begin developing the habits of thinking and learning that support success throughout Lower School and the years ahead. Families often discover that beginning this journey earlier allows children to build confidence and curiosity within a community that will continue to support them as they grow. 

This is what makes Early Childhood at TAS such a powerful start. Students are known, challenged, and supported by educators who understand how to help young learners thrive.

Voices from the TAS Community

Parents and educators share their experiences with Early Childhood at TAS.

What is the TAS Experience Like?

“ At Taipei American School, Pre-K and Kindergarten are where joyful discovery meets intentional teaching. Our program is carefully designed to nurture early language, literacy, mathematics, and executive functioning skills while honoring how young children learn, laying a strong foundation for confident learners in the Lower School and beyond 

Becky Klar

Interim Lower School Principal

“ In the early childhood years, we begin by helping children understand their emotions. Through our RULER approach, students learn to recognize and name how they feel, which builds confidence, empathy, and strong relationships. These early skills become the foundation for the independence, curiosity, and resilience we see grow throughout their years at TAS. 

Rebecca Schiff

Lower School Counselor

“ At TAS, early childhood learning is built around curiosity, connection, and joyful discovery. Through a balance of guided play, independent exploration, and purposeful learning experiences, children build friendships while developing early foundations in literacy, math, science, and social studies. These playful moments spark creativity, problem-solving, and a lasting love of learning

Nicky Robinson

Lower School Kindergarten Teacher

My experience at TAS taught me that it's not just about the grade or the performance. It's about the relationships you build, the experiences you have, and the skills you develop along the way. Now that I have kids of my own, I want them to have the same opportunities I had at TAS. The chance to explore, take risks, and learn from both success and failure.

John Wu '01, Alumni & Kindergarten Parent
