Reggio-Inspired

The Reggio Emilia Approach is an educational philosophy based on the premise that in the early years of development children are forming who they are as an individual. Thus the program is based on the principles of respect, responsibility, and community through exploration and discovery in a supportive and enriching environment based on the interests of the children through a self-guided curriculum.
