Philosophy

Offering children a home away from home we are inspired by using the Reggio Emilia philosophy. Reggio Emilia is renowned worldwide for its child-centered philosophy and unique learning environment. It emphasizes the importance of the child’s innate curiosity and natural ability to learn through exploration and hands-on experiences. This approach offers a compelling choice for parents and educators seeking an innovative and effective approach to early childhood education. It is a remarkable educational philosophy that prioritizes children’s creativity, exploration, and collaboration. By fostering a child-centered learning environment, this approach encourages active participation, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
