When it comes to early childhood education in Shanghai, few institutions have the same staying power and reputation as Tiny Tots International Preschool & Kindergarten. Founded in 1997, Tiny Tots is the only English-licensed, stand-alone international kindergarten in Shanghai—a school that has become synonymous with warmth, creativity, and academic excellence.

A Truly International Learning Environment

Tiny Tots is more than just a preschool—it's a globally connected, child-centered community where children flourish in a supportive, multicultural setting. Families from all over the world come together here, creating a dynamic, inclusive atmosphere that fosters empathy, diversity, and global citizenship right from the early years.

Its educational philosophy is rooted in the belief that children learn best when they're engaged, inspired, and empowered. Through a balance of play-based learning, inquiry-driven projects, and creative expression, students build strong foundations in literacy, numeracy, arts, and social skills. At the same time, they develop the confidence to think independently and the compassion to work collaboratively.

Campus Life That Feels Like Home

The Tiny Tots campus, tucked away on Wukang Road in the former French Concession, blends charm and functionality across three thoughtfully designed floors. Classrooms are sunlit and spacious. There's a wraparound playground for outdoor play, a rooftop organic garden for hands-on learning, and cozy reading nooks that invite imagination and reflection.

What sets Tiny Tots apart is its "home away from home" atmosphere. The low student-to-teacher ratio allows educators to know each child deeply—nurturing not just academic ability, but emotional and social growth too.

A Community That Grows Together

At Tiny Tots, families are essential partners in the learning journey. Whether it's through monthly multicultural events, parent volunteer opportunities, or immersive multicultural experience workshop, the school creates meaningful ways for parents to engage, connect, and be part of their child's early development. Many families remain lifelong friends, staying connected well beyond graduation.
