EBI - Benedictine Early Education (Transitional Kindergarten to Grade 2)

Early Childhood Education Envigado Medellín

Exploring, imagining, and sharing: the art of learning with others

Our Early Benedictine Education (EBI) program, designed for children aged 3 to 6, is firmly anchored in the present, where it faces a variety of significant challenges. It emphasizes the importance of educating children to be aware of environmental issues and equips them to think creatively about future solutions to the problems they encounter. Additionally, we aim to cultivate lifelong advocates for peace and coexistence, instilling in them the skills necessary for continuous learning, fueled by their curiosity, imagination, and passion for knowledge.

We accomplish this by engaging our children in playful learning labs where:

They engage in play by crafting scenarios that push their limits, stimulating their senses, emotions, and thoughts.

They develop emotional, cognitive, physical, and social skills.

They practice consistently so that the lessons become ingrained in their thinking and stay with them for a lifetime.

They develop the skills to find happiness, innovate, create, and communicate effectively as they navigate the challenges of the 21st century.

Learning Labs

Communicating

In this lab, children enhance their reading and writing skills by engaging with literature as a platform for imagination, creativity, and communication. This experience not only stimulates their language development but also empowers them to create their own texts.

Being Happy

In this lab, we aim to help our children learn to embrace happiness, foster self-love, and care for others. We focus on creating inclusive and fulfilling experiences that encourage them to build meaningful relationships. Our goal is to inspire a commitment to nurturing a more compassionate world that promotes the well-being of everyone.

Innovating

In this lab, children engage in learning that aligns with their age-appropriate abilities, utilizing logical-mathematical thinking, technology, and exploration. They are encouraged to creatively envision solutions to the challenges we face today and in the future, all while having fun and enjoying the process.

Creating

In this lab, English is approached as a second language through various artistic forms, including literature, music, dance, and painting. This method fosters a natural learning environment that emphasizes color, rhythm, and movement, making the process engaging and intuitive.

Exploring

In this lab, students explore social sciences, the rights and responsibilities of children, and sustainable development goals while using English as a second language.
