Reggio Emilia Inspired
With a strong belief in children’s abilities, the Reggio Emilia educational model helps children develop in all aspects when expressing “hundred languages”. In addition, there is a close cooperation between educators and parents. Reggio Emilia’s philosophy is built on respect, responsibility and community. From there, children learn through interacting with others in a friendly and natural learning environment.
5 Relationships Reggio Emilia Creates

Self-relation: Know yourself and love yourself properly.
02
Social relations: Respect and understanding – love everyone around.

Natural relations: Be grateful, cherish, protect and build.
04

05
Relationships with your own ideas: Creativity and overcoming challenges to always aim for good responsibility, awareness and honesty.
The importance of time
Discovering and designing activities is not a “one-time thing”. The best thing is that we let the children do it step by step and keep their work so that they know and continue their work in the following days until they finish their work.
Children should have enough time and guidance to use the same materials and need repetition until they are completely satisfied with their product. Children have a sense of time and have their own rhythms in their own planning, activities, and discoveries.
