The Reggio Emilia approach began in the 1940s when a community located in the town of Reggio Emilia in northern Italy, along with schoolteacher Loris Malaguzzi, began building a preschool for their children. After World War II, the community came together to build their schools with the desire to raise a new generation of citizens committed to justice and equality. This idea of coming together as a community for the sake of the children is at the very core of the Reggio Emilia approach today.

We view curriculum as everything that happens during our time together with the children. This includes moments to explore relationships and create a classroom community that nurtures the children. We begin each school year with attention to creating not only a beautiful environment that invites curiosity and exploration, but an emotional environment that encourages kindness, respect, tolerance, and love for each other.
Our classrooms have uncluttered shelves with open-ended materials from nature to supplement basic early childhood materials like blocks, puzzles, and dress-up clothes. In the first weeks, bulletin boards are empty, ready to be shaped by the life of the classroom, rather than filled with commercial decorations.
We create long stretches of open time for the children’s play and exploration during the day, believing that children deserve the opportunity to spend time with each other and with their ideas, questions, and challenges.
Children have opportunities to engage in sensory exploration, drama play, block building, game playing, puzzle work, reading, writing, drawing, art, science, and math activities. You’ll see children playing with their peers or alone. You’ll see teachers watching and listening to children, documenting their play with photos and notes, offering resources to support and extend their play, and playing alongside kids.
