Childcare service School

The Academy of Early Learning is a premier child development center providing services for children Our Academies are Inspired by the Reggio Emilia Approach Philosophy Although you may not come across many Reggio Emilia schools, there are many Reggio Emilia-inspired schools based on the approach developed in the 1940s in the town of Reggio Emilia in northern Italy. Read more After World War II, the community, along with schoolteacher Loris Malaguzzi, came together to develop schools that would help children become better citizens. The overall philosophy is that kids are really encouraged to explore. The teachers are there to help them explore. Reggio Emilia schools are known for a project-based approach, which many preschool programs have borrowed. In a project-based curriculum, lessons are based on the interest of the students. For Example: If children playing outside encounter a flower and start to ask the teacher questions about how it grows, instead of directly answering the questions, the teacher encourages the group to “find out together.” The class may then build a garden and learn all that entails, while acquiring other important premath, prereading concepts. Another example would be setting up a restaurant in the classroom based on the class’s interest in playing in the kitchen. Projects become “child-originated and teacher-framed.” Reggio Emilia programs are also known for documenting what children do, taking photos, making videos, writing observations. Then children and teachers can review what they’ve done throughout the year. Teacher as Researcher Our teachers have the responsibility to observe and document the interests, ideas, questions, struggles, connections and insights that their students make on a daily basis. From that documentation, the environment is arranged, materials are gathered and the curriculum is built. Teachers ask provoking questions to gather prior knowledge and learn about curiosities. They present materials that they suspect will engage and elicit even further interest of the study. Classroom Environment and Design The classroom environment plays just as important a role as do the teacher and the students. The teachers arrange and rearrange the classroom with intent and respect. Materials are chosen that will stimulate, inspire, and challenge the children as they enter the room in Update description
