Benefits of a Bilingual Education in the Early Years
The window for language development is most open during the preschool years and gradually becomes less flexible after the age of five or six. Early exposure offers benefits such as:
• Better academic performance
• Improved concentration
• Enhanced memory and retention
• More effective communication and the ability to understand different perspectives
• Greater creativity, as language learning stimulates problem-solving, perseverance, and decision-making skills
What Sets EAC Apart
• Authentic Montessori learning, educators certified by the American Montessori Society (AMS) and the Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education (MACTE).
• Preschool counselors’ advising, supporting child development and family well-being.
• Outdoor spaces and gardens designed to foster sensory exploration, hands-on learning, and a connection with nature through sustainable practices.
• Focus on the whole child – academic, emotional, social, and motor development.
• International and inclusive environment, fostering global citizens and welcoming all families

What is the adaptation process like at EAC Preschool?
Our adaptation process begins even before the first day of school, working closely with families to ensure a positive and reassuring start to their early learning experience. Parents are invited to an orientation session with the Preschool Principal, counselor, and their child’s teacher to learn about daily routines, the school environment, and classroom activities. This is also a chance to ask questions and begin building a connection with the team. Next, children visit the classroom with their parents—without other students present—to meet their teacher and explore the space. This helps create a sense of familiarity and comfort. When school begins, we follow each child’s individual pace. A parent stays on campus during the early days to offer support if needed, ensuring a gentle and secure transition into school life.
What is included in the daily routine?
Children enjoy a rich and balanced day with Montessori work cycles in Practical Life, Language, Sensorial, Math, and Cultural Studies, along with Science, Social-Emotional Learning, and Child Protection lessons.
Their experience is enriched with Music, Art, Physical Education, outdoor play, storytime, lunch, and snacks.
Can I visit before enrolling?
Of course! Visiting is the best way to experience our environment firsthand.
