Preschool (ages 3–6) is a crucial period in a child’s development. It’s when they build the foundations of reading, writing, and mathematics, while also developing their autonomy, concentration, and confidence.
At EMIT, this stage is experienced within a trilingual Montessori framework, through educational materials, multi-age groups, and a pedagogy that encourages exploration, active engagement, and the joy of learning.
A crucial stage for building foundations.
Reading, writing, mathematics, and discovery of the world.
Trilingual immersion experienced in classroom life.
In the Children’s House, trilingualism is fully lived out every day.
French, English, and LSF accompany interactions, routines, classroom life, and learning. Children evolve in an environment similar to that of a multi-language and multicultural family.
This immersion fosters openness, linguistic flexibility, and a more natural relationship with languages.
This dual promise—Montessori and bilingualism—forms the foundation of the pedagogical project.
A reference language for communicating, understanding, narrating, and building early learning.
A lively immersion through routines, activities, stories, and classroom life.
A daily presence that supports attention, expression, and communication with others.
The youngest children learn by watching, listening, and drawing inspiration from the actions of older children.
Older children strengthen their confidence by showing, explaining, and repeating what they have learned.
The multi-age group encourages mutual aid, progressive responsibility, and respect for each individual's pace.
Working in mixed-age groups allows children to progress in a more fluid, observant, and vibrant setting.
The youngest children learn by watching and imitating. Older children consolidate their knowledge, gain more confidence, and progressively develop their sense of responsibility.
This dynamic fosters autonomy, cooperation, and the stability of learning.
At EMIT, preschool is not limited to fundamental learning. The international environment, the school’s rich human diversity, the spacious areas, and community life also contribute to what the child builds at this age.
They learn to live with others, to open up to different cultures, and to grow in an environment that already gives meaning to diversity.
Understanding and caring for your environment.
Hands-on learning: explore, create, and learn differently.
Making learning meaningful.
Developing curiosity and a broader view of the world.
