Early years

At TAE, students grow as whole learners. In Nursery and Preschool, they build emotional confidence, grow more independent and spark their creativity through play and exploration.

Students aged 18 months to 7 strengthen their social and communication skills as they learn to listen, share and express their ideas clearly. Stories, songs and early phonics lay strong foundations for language and literacy.
