TIS Preschool - At a Glance

I am impressed with the TIS preschool teachers for their expertise in child development and best practices in early childhood  education. TIS is a nurturing environment which supports the academic, social and emotional development of each unique child. My children are excited to come to school each day. TIS has inspired them to love learning.

3YO: Stop, Drop, and Roll!
3YO: Stop, Drop, and Roll!

Marigold Class had fun learning about the people in our community and the important jobs they do. We had a visit from our school doctor, Ms. Valbona, and our maintenance worker, Mr. Titi. We also visited our receptionist, Ms. Besa, and Ms. Djonila in the business office.

Then we got to play pretend and become firefighters, stopping some big “fires” around our school!

Now we know that TIS is a special place because of all the special people who help our community every day!

3YO: Little Tulips explored the wonders of the Fall season!
3YO: Little Tulips explored the wonders of the Fall season!

Last month, our curious learners dove into the magic of autumn. We discovered how nature changes during this beautiful season—the leaves turning vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow, the cooler weather, and the special traditions that make fall so unique. Together, we talked about harvest time, cozy family gatherings, and the holidays that bring joy and togetherness.

One of the highlights of our fall adventure was our very first field trip of the year to Albanet Farm! It was an unforgettable experience filled with learning and laughter. The children had the chance to see firsthand how fruits and vegetables grow, feed gentle farm animals, and even harvest fresh pomegranates straight from the trees. Tasting those juicy pomegranates was a treat everyone loved! After exploring the farm, the children enjoyed playing on the farm playground, running, climbing, and sharing smiles with friends.

This trip was more than just fun—it was a hands-on way to connect classroom learning with real-life experiences. We are so proud of our Little Tulips for their curiosity, excitement, and teamwork throughout this special day!

2YO: From Wiggles to Whiskers: Bringing Our Pet Theme to Life

This week in our Two-Year-Old Class, we had so much fun learning all about pets! The children explored what pets need, how we care for them, and the different sounds and movements they make. We also had some very special visitors the class got to meet a friendly turtle, an orange shiny fish, and a fluffy guinea pig. The children were curious, gentle, and excited as they watched the animals, asked questions, and learned how to treat pets with kindness. It was a wonderful hands-on experience that helped bring our pet theme to life! 🐢🐠🐹✨
