Our Story

Piperseeds Preschool was founded by Ron and Grace, an American expat couple originally from New York City. They moved to Taiwan in 2015 to open progressive early childhood schools, bringing a vision rooted in the belief that children are deeply driven by the desire to understand and to be understood. Our goal as a kindergarten is to nurture the development of the skills, knowledge, and habits of mind to help children succeed in fulfilling these desires.

After opening two successful and innovative English-immersion schools in Taipei, Piperseeds Preschool is the latest educational project our founders have started, focusing on reimagining bilingual preschool education in Taiwan. Ron and Grace bring their years of experience building and training teams of early childhood educators to breathe life into their vision for a playful, joyful, and enriching school experience for children and their families.

Ron holds a Master of Science degree in early childhood education from Erikson Institute in Chicago. He further specialized in language and literacy learning in young children from birth through age eight. Grace holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. She also holds an early childhood educator and preschool principal license in Taiwan.
