Pre K Philosophy

The influences of the highly regarded Reggio Emilia schools of Italy are at the core of Children's Garden of Learning. (In 1991, Newsweek named Reggio Emilias school system one of the ten best in the world). The Reggio approach means, simply, allowing children to guide their teachers in choosing the classroom environment that will challenge and maximize their curiosity.

What intrigues your child? Is it painting dinosaurs? Working on rocket ships? Traveling to distant lands by reading books and looking at globes? Dressing up?

Teachers constantly listen to and observe children in the classroom to discover what interests them. They use this knowledge to plan the curriculum and prepare the teaching tools and environment, while at the same time pursuing developmental improvement. That said, while children influences their day, teachers consistently follow an age-appropriate daily schedule that ensures the structure from which preschoolers benefit.

The Reggio Emilia Approach to preschool education was started by the schools of the city of Reggio Emilia in post-World War II Italy. The Reggio Emilia's approach to child care and education is distinguished from other efforts both inside and outside of Italy, and attracts worldwide attention. Its emphasis on children's symbolic languages in the context of a project-oriented curriculum are just one of many features that separate it from other philosophies. This element has been well-documented in two traveling exhibitions, including one created by the Boulder Journey School. The Reggio Emilia approach is executed with a carefully articulated and collaborative approach to the care and education of young children.
