Multilingualism

In Early Years, children develop the essential knowledge, skills and confidence to begin their educational journey successfully.
Our innovative curriculum, active learning approaches and assessment tools help us build a deeper understanding of every child. Through continuous monitoring and a strong focus on improvement, we track progress carefully and ensure that every step supports meaningful academic development.
Children learn to communicate with confidence, express their ideas clearly and work collaboratively through projects, games and creative activities.
Through guided experiences, children learn to adapt to new situations, solve practical problems and begin to develop responsibility and empathy. These skills provide a strong foundation for their emotional, social and academic growth.
Our international preschool programme introduces children to a multicultural environment, nurturing a global outlook from the very start.
During Early Years, English is the main language used in guided activities, with ongoing support from each child’s home language. This approach helps children develop fluency, confidence and key communication skills, preparing them for future learning in a diverse and interconnected world
What we value most at CPV Peñalolén are the learning experiences, where children strengthen their English through engaging, play-based activities.
