The Reggio Emilia Approach

The Reggio Emilia Approach is an educational philosophy for early childhood developed in Italy. It emphasizes child-led learning, fostering creativity, and collaboration among children, teachers, and families. In this approach, children are seen as capable and curious individuals, encouraged to explore their interests through hands-on projects and activities. The learning environment is thoughtfully designed to stimulate inquiry and communication. Teachers act as facilitators, guiding children in their exploration and supporting their ideas. Art and expression are central to the process, helping children articulate their thoughts and emotions. Overall, it values the child's voice and promotes a strong community.
