The Princess Of Wales and The Royal Foundation Centre For Early Childhood will visit Reggio Emilia

The Princess of Wales will visit Reggio Emilia on Wednesday 13th and Thursday 14th May, a significant next step for The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood as it expands internationally.

Spearheaded by The Princess, the visit focuses on early childhood development and is part of a high-level fact-finding mission exploring leading international approaches to supporting young children and those who care for them.
Building on the Centre's Shaping Us Framework, launched in February 2025, the two days will examine how a shared understanding of social and emotional development connects with approaches in other countries prioritising the early years.
Her Royal Highness will spend time with educators, parents, children and civic and business leaders to see the Reggio Emilia Approach in action.

Since 2021, the Centre has brought together research, collaboration and practical action to drive long-term change in how society understands the early years. This visit signals the next phase of that work.
