Reggio Emilia Approach
The Reggio Emilia Approach® is an educational philosophy based on the image of a child with strong potentialities for development and a subject with rights, who learns through the hundred languages belonging to all human beings, and grows in relations with others.
This educational project, which has become a reference point throughout the world, develops and renews each day in Reggio Emilia’s municipal infant-toddler centres and preschools.
The Reggio Emilia Approach is founded on:
collegial and relations-based work for all workers
the daily presence of a plurality of educators and teachers with children
the atelier and the person of the atelierista
in-school kitchens
the environment as educator
documentation for making creative knowledge processes visible
the pedagogical and educational practice co-ordinating group
the participation of families
This journey has brought the educational project of Reggio Emilia into contact with more than 145 countries and territories around the world thanks to the synergy with Reggio Children, a company controlled by Reggio Emilia Municipality and founded in 1994 to promote, safeguard and give value to the Reggio Emilia Approach nationally and internationally.
