Preschool at EBI

Where the Love of Learning Begins

Nurturing Curiosity, Creativity, and Growth

At Escuela Bilingüe Internacional, our PK and TK programs introduce young learners to the joy of education through a positive, play-based approach, where student voices are respected and valued. 

Our Reggio Emilia-inspired classrooms allow student choices, voices, and interests to guide the learning process since we believe that children are capable, curious, and active participants in their own development..

In a loving and safe classroom, students build a strong foundation for lifelong learning by exploring, creating, and interacting with their peers, teachers, and their environment. Our whole-child-centered program allows students to develop socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively.

A World-Class Beginning

At EBI, our PK and TK students embark on their educational journey through the globally respected International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP).
Through discovery, inquiry, and structured learning experiences, students:

  • Explore early math concepts like sorting, classifying, creating patterns, developing their number sense, and spatial awareness

  • Build early literacy skills by participating in phonemic awareness activities, read-alouds, and developing book and print concepts

  • Develop fine motor skills through hands-on activities that promote hand-eye coordination and small muscle strength and control

  • Practice social skills like sharing, taking turns, expressing emotions, resolving conflicts, showing respect and empathy towards others

  • Strengthen critical and creative thinking and curiosity about the world around them

Our classrooms foster an atmosphere where students become thinkers, communicators, and caring classmates, ready to thrive as global learners.

The EBI Approach to Language Learning

Natural Spanish Immersion from the Start

At EBI, Spanish immersion begins from day one.
Young children have a natural advantage for language acquisition, and our faculty support students by using gestures, facial expressions, visual aids, and interactive communication, ensuring all learners feel confident and included.

  • Teachers conduct classroom activities in Spanish, supporting understanding through dynamic, visual methods.

  • Students are encouraged to respond in their mother tongue initially, gradually transitioning to more Spanish use as their confidence grows.

  • Native Spanish speakers benefit from more profound home language development, building strong foundations for advanced bilingual proficiency.

Bilingualism nurtures language fluency, cognitive flexibility, empathy, and a global perspective that will serve students for life.
