Preschool

Our Preschool is Fostering Independence and Learning Through Play 

Tirana International School has a thriving, exciting program for preschool aged children from around the world.  Our teachers and paraprofessionals have a firm understanding of how children learn and grow. All the teaching subjects are taught in English, most of the teaching staff are English native speakers, they are all certificated and qualified teachers. We accept children from age 2 into our international program that includes developmental instruction, lots of exercise, and healthy food choices.Pre-school students have their Schedule for Specials as well  and 2-3 times per week they have Physical Education, Library, Techology and Music. 

The TIS preschool curriculum supports the belief that young children learn best through play and hands-on activities. Play is important for the development of imagination, creativity, social and emotional skills, and problem-solving. Through play students also learn age-appropriate mathematical as well as literacy skills, how to work with others, share and wait for their turn. We foster a love of learning and encourage children to become independent, self-confident, and inquisitive learners.

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: Brrr, Baby, It’s Cold Outside! ❄️
3YO: Brrr, Baby, It’s Cold Outside! ❄️

Winter has arrived, and Marigold Class is so excited to dive into all the fun winter activities! We’ve been busy pretending with snowballs (thank you, blue balls, for helping us out!), building snowmen (playdough to the rescue!), and decorating our tree (glitter and buttons make everything sparkle!). During nap time, we’ve even watched snowflakes fall, thanks to the twinkling Christmas lights. ✨

Our imaginations are growing as we read lots of winter books, each one taking us to snowy places filled with magic and wonder. ❄️📚

It’s truly a magical season, and the best part is, we still have one more week to make even more memories together. Stay cozy and enjoy the magic, everyone! ⛄️💙

3YO: Exploring Our Community Helpers in the Tulips class
3YO: Exploring Our Community Helpers in the Tulips class

This week our Tulips have been exploring the important roles that community helpers play in our lives. We’ve had a lot of fun learning about firefighters, police officers, construction workers, and more through a variety of hands-on activities. From building roads with blocks like construction workers to role-playing as police officers and firefighters, our students have been actively engaged in learning how these helpers keep our community safe and running smoothly.

We were also lucky to have a special visit from our fantastic school doctor, Dr. Valbona. She brought along some of the equipment she uses to help sick children, such as a stethoscope and thermometer. The children had a great time learning how doctors use these tools to take care of us.
