An Exceptional Early Years Approach to Set Your Child Up for Success

ENJOY - Educational Nourishment Just for You is a comprehensive early years education model that caters to our Preschoolers (ages 2 to 6) in the Exploratory phase and is based on the globally respected Reggio Emilia and Montessori philosophies, incorporating best practices from both. With ENJOY, children can explore, investigate, experiment, discover, and create, supported by dedicated educators who ensure a safe and open environment. This methodology results in optimal neuro-cognitive, social, and affective development in children, facilitating the transition to the next stage of their education and having a positive impact on their overall personal growth.

ENJOY was designed by AIM and launched in 2020 at our Valle and Chipinque campuses (previously called Valle Oriente and San Pedro) to offer our youngest students an exceptional learning experience that can unlock their academic success in the following years.

The Unique Benefits of ENJOY

ENJOY seeks to develop children’s potential across the Exploratory levels (Pre-Nursery to English II) by creating favorable conditions and environments that arouse student interest in learning. Children's Social-emotional development is essential because, from a very young age, they can contribute to society as “Little citizens of the world”.

Children learn by applying their knowledge to action. Within ENJOY, we encourage "Learning by doing". Students participate in interdisciplinary projects where learning takes place through valuable interactions with others inside and outside the classroom using significant experiences and engaging activities.

Our goal at AIM is to support children by helping them grow into confident, motivated, and happy students who live in peace and can express themselves through more than one language. ENJOY fosters children's development and helps them recognize their unique potential as creative, valuable individuals who have the power to achieve their individual goals and build a better world.

Why ENJOY?

AIM's ENJOY Model was implemented to boost the learning experience and personal development of our preschool children aged 2 to 6 years, hence facilitating their transition to Elementary School. This model supports our comprehensive approach to Preschool Exploratory education and incorporates academics, sports, and creative & performing arts to foster the academic, artistic, physical, and social-emotional development of our youngest students.

reggio emilia approach to education

A Child-centered, Reggio Emilia-Inspired Approach

ENJOY takes inspiration from the Reggio Emilia approach, which seeks to develop children's potential by creating favorable conditions and environments that encourage our young explorers' interest in learning. At AIM, the social-emotional development of our infants is of great importance. All children, regardless of age, can positively contribute to society in a meaningful way when they have the opportunity to explore and learn in a safe environment and feel validated by the adults and peers around them. Within this educational philosophy, the child is seen as a valuable individual, with much to contribute to their family, school, country, and the wider world.

Learning Stations Methodology

Learning is seen as a sequence of significant experiences and activities (explore, investigate, experiment, discover, create) designed in an environment to promote optimal neuro-cognitive, social, and affective development. With this in mind, ENJOY includes 7 stations in each classroom to promote the balanced growth of our students.
