Reggio Emilia Approach
The Reggio Emilia Approach is an educational philosophy focused on early childhood education, developed in the city of Reggio Emilia, Italy. It emphasizes child-led learning, where children explore their interests through hands-on experiences and projects. Teachers act as facilitators, guiding children in their inquiries and encouraging collaboration among peers.
This approach values the role of the environment as the "third teacher," promoting a rich, engaging space filled with materials that inspire creativity. Parents are considered essential partners in the educational process, fostering a strong community connection that supports children's development and learning.
