The Benefits of Small Class Sizes in Early Childhood Education

In the early years, children need more than academic knowledge – they need care, attention, and personal guidance that matches their individual pace of development. That’s why many parents are seeking international preschools with small class sizes – places where each child is seen as a unique individual with their own personality and learning path.

‍

Smaller Class Sizes Enable Personalized Learning

Unlike large classes, where teachers may struggle to keep up with every student, small classes allow educators to deeply understand each child – both academically and emotionally. This enables them to:

• Tailor teaching methods to suit individual learning styles
  
  
• Closely observe behavior, reactions, and daily progress
  
  
• Identify strengths and challenges early for timely support

At modern international preschools, personalization is not a luxury – it’s a core principle in curriculum design, and it can only be fully implemented in small-group settings.

Children Feel Safer and More Confident When They Are Heard

Small class sizes not only make teaching easier – they also make it easier for children to express themselves. When children don’t have to compete for attention with dozens of classmates, they:

• Feel more comfortable sharing ideas, emotions, and questions
  
  
• Experience being heard and understood, building trust with their teacher
  
  
• Develop positive communication habits and confidence in speaking up

Many parents have noted that after attending an international preschool with small class sizes, their children became more confident, expressive, and cooperative in group settings.

How Small-Class Learning Is Designed at TAS

At The American School (TAS) – a U.S.-standard international preschool in Ho Chi Minh City – each preschool class is limited to a maximum of 15 students. This ensures:

• Every class has 1 native English-speaking teacher and 1 bilingual assistant
  
  
• Teachers have ample time to observe, give feedback, and personalize each child’s learning journey
  
  
• Parents receive weekly updates via the digital communication system to track their child’s progress closely

The small class model at TAS not only maximizes the effectiveness of the curriculum – it also fosters a nurturing, connected learning environment where children, teachers, and families grow together.
