What is the Reggio Emilia Inspired Method?
The Reggio Emilia teaching and learning method is rooted in the philosophy that children are full of the curiosity, creativity, and powerful ideas needed to inspire meaningful and deep learning. In contrast to traditional teaching methods that view the teacher as the source of knowledge and children as empty vessels waiting to be filled, the Reggio Emilia curriculum believes that children are active participants in the learning process and capable of constructing / defining their own learning experiences as they explore their curiosity and creativity. For this reason, the Reggio Emilia Philosophy encourages expressive learning - a method proven to result in more profound and enduring outcomes for children.

“Stand aside for a while and leave room for learning, observe carefully what children do, and then, if you have understood well, perhaps teaching will be different from before.”
― Loris Malaguzzi
