“The Reggio Approach is not a recipe, it doesn’t tell you what to do. Rather, it’s an educational approach rooted in Reggio Emilia, one that asks you to be respectful and mindful of your context and community to be aware of questions like where your children come from, where they live, what their days are like, what they miss or want, so as to be able to welcome the children and their culture. To think that it is a model to implement (that is, to do it in any other way) is to betray the approach.” – Tiziana Filippini,
Pedagogista
Our Reggio Emilia inspired approach nurtures children through child led
inquiry based learning, fostering, creativity. It values each child unique
capabilities encouraging exploration and self expression in a supporting
environment.
By combining elements of the EYFS framework with the principles of the Reggio Emilia approach, we have created a nurturing and stimulating nursery environment that supports the holistic development of 1-2 year old children. Flexibility, creativity, and a deep respect for the capabilities and interests of young children are key principles are kept in mind when designing and implementing the lessons.
