Reggio Emilia Approach

The Early Childhood Center is modeled on the Reggio Emilia philosophy (used in 34 countries around the world), which emphasizes child-centered, teacher-guided exploration in a relationship-driven environment, with a focus on nature and community as sources of learning.

The Reggio approach is one that values the child as strong, capable, resilient, and rich with wonder and knowledge, emphasizing project-based activities, the arts, the environment, family participation, and community.

"Children, from birth, are eager to learn and relate. They seek to examine, experience, and connect with the people and phenomena surrounding them. In education and in life, children and adults thrive when there are interesting resources, complex environments and experiences, time for the pleasure of learning and being, reciprocity, sharing, traces of interpreted experiences in process, a strong sense of belonging, and optimism for the future." ~ North American Reggio Emilia Alliance
