At Tiger Tots, we provide a safe nurturing learning environment for children ages 18 months to 6. All the programs have similar educational goals, values and philosophy.
In each of the programs, activities and materials are planned in a developmentally appropriate manner within a challenging and exciting learning environment.
Play sets the stage for learning and provides the medium through which the children may imitate, explore, test ideas, acquire information and draw conclusions.
Our program emphasizes the fostering of positive self–image, socialization and recognizes the uniqueness of each child.
Prospective families should fill out a Waiting List Application Form and submit to the TYPA office or email Joanna Lee at leej@typa.org.tw We will also need a copy of your child’s passport to show that he/she meets the requirements of ‘foreign nationality’.
There is no fee for waiting list placement. Upon completion of the form, new families may be contacted for a required visitation before registration. It usually takes place at the beginning of March for the fall semester and November for the spring semester.
A non–refundable registration fee of $15,000 per semester is required for each child upon his/her acceptance into the program. Tuition for Fall semester must be paid in full by June 28, 2019. Tuition for Spring semester must be paid in full upon registration in November. No refunds or credits will be given (toward TYPA or Tiger Tots programs) after tuition due dates unless families are leaving Taiwan. If tuition is not paid by the due date, it will be assumed that the child will not attend.
If parents choose to take a vacation during scheduled school days, tuition will not be refunded or credited for the child’s time away from preschool. All Tiger Tots class fees cover one full semester. Classes are available once a minimum number of participants have been reached.
Our Language and Literacy Programs offer exciting learning opportunities for children attending local schools whose language of instruction is Asian. They are designed for children who have graduated from Tiger Tots or any other English-speaking preschool. However, children without a formal background in English education may also be screened for these programs. Please fill out the application form and email Joanna Lee at leej@typa.org.tw for schedule a screening.
Our office hours are Monday to Friday 9:00am to 12:00pm and 1:00pm to 4:30pm, and Saturday 9:00am to 3:00pm.
