Let learning be more than just “daycare”—make it an “adventure.”
At 6:30 a.m., the streets of Taipei are empty. A little boy with a heavy backpack waits to board the school bus for an early study session at a private elementary school. Though only in second grade, he was already buried in worksheets and mock exams the night before, studying late into the night.
Before long, he puts on his glasses and says goodbye to his favorite outdoor games, now replaced by endless blackboard copying, quizzes, and monthly tests…
That child might be a reflection of you and me.
Over thirty years later, now that we’ve become parents ourselves, we can’t help but wonder: must our children’s childhood be spent under the weight of academic pressure? Can this kind of education truly help them shine in the world of tomorrow?
At Jian Sheng, we understand that educational reform is no longer optional—it is essential. We’ve visited international schools around the world and seen glimpses of the future of education: Singapore fosters “lifelong learners,” Finland emphasizes “interdisciplinary literacy,” and Hong Kong cultivates globally competitive students through “biliteracy and trilingualism.” In Taiwan, the 2019 curriculum reform (known as the 108 Curriculum Guidelines) has begun to reshape education—from a focus on “skills” to “competency,” from passive learning to active thinking, and with the bold vision of becoming a bilingual nation by 2030!
These are exactly the capabilities our children at Jian Sheng have been cultivating all along.
We believe that the mixed-age learning environment of Montessori helps children develop social skills naturally; the Froebelian teaching model encourages independent exploration and critical thinking; and our NANA BEAR bilingual setting prepares children with global competence.
That’s why we created a truly child-centered after-school learning space—Fun Learning Bar. Here, children can “study nearby,” without the burden of elite school tuition or long commutes. This is not just an after-school program. It is a brand-new educational experience, grounded in global perspectives and infused with Montessori, Froebel, and bilingual education.
Four Key Features of the Fun Learning Bar
1. Academic Support: More Effective Learning, Less Parental Stress!
Academic tutoring is the most fundamental and essential part of the Fun Learning Bar. As soon as children return from school, their first task is to efficiently complete their homework for the day.
📌 Professional Mentors – Our instructors are caring, experienced elementary school tutors. They don’t just supervise homework but help children grasp key concepts and improve their focus.
📌 Comprehensive Support in Chinese, Math, and Social Studies – We not only ensure homework is completed but also guide students to truly understand the content.
📌 Peace of Mind for Parents – After returning home, all parents need to do is sign the communication book—no more worrying about unfinished homework!
2. Dynamic English Learning: Make Language a Part of Life, Not Just a Subject!
Building on Jian Sheng’s Nana Bear English curriculum for ages 0–6, our program ensures a natural and seamless transition in English learning.
- Real-Life Themes – Courses revolve around daily life topics, enabling students to use English flexibly instead of just memorizing vocabulary.
- Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing – With structured supplemental materials, children build a solid foundation from basic vocabulary to sentence expression.
- STEAM+ English Experience Classes – The highlight: English is embedded in hands-on activities such as cooking, science experiments, physical education, and field trips. Foreign teachers lead children in these immersive experiences, making language a living part of their world.
3. Winter & Summer Camps: Nonstop Learning, Igniting Passion!

At Fun Learning Bar, we don’t just use technology to manage learning—we teach children to harness digital tools so learning continues at home.
- Digital Communication Book App – Parents can monitor their child’s learning progress anytime through the app.
- iPad-Assisted Learning – With the help of digital tools, English and enrichment teachers use videos, interactive games, and voice recognition to make learning more engaging.
