 | Our preschool program has been influenced by the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education for more then five years. This philosophy is rooted in the belief that education should be a learning experience that involves both the child and the teacher. Education should not be taught at a child, but should be an interactive and creative process that includes the children, teachers and families, creating a community of learners. Our curriculum allows for children to show their intelligence in both traditional and innovative ways. The Reggio Emilia approach values the “hundred languages of children.” Our teachers are trained to see children through many lenses as they express their knowledge in a multitude of ways: through language, dance, clay, fine arts, math, problem solving, writing, physics, social interactions, computers, drama, story telling, blocks, drawing, reading, and the languages continue. Each preschool cottage has its own Cottage Director who is part of the team of teachers. This provides an intimate hands-on support system for the teachers and families that make up each cottage. | | |
