100 Worlds Preschool

The Reggio Emilia education system that exists in Northern Italy is much larger than it’s individual schools. It is integrated into all facets of their society; from government to local community initiatives, and for this reason we cannot replicate it exactly. At 100 Worlds Preschool, it is our mission to run a Reggio Emilia inspired program that follows the key principles of the Reggio Emilia method:

Collaboration:
Children have the right:
*To Contribute to the learning of others
*To be listened to
*To better understand themselves and their place in the community
*To ask questions
*To be valued in the community

Emergent Curriculum:
Children have the right:
*To explore their interests
*To construct their own knowledge
*To investigate and explore freely
*To hypothesize and test theories
*To be inspired


Project Based Learning:
Children have the right to:
*To take as much time as they want on a topic
*To reflect on past experiences
*To research, plan, and make decisions with their peers and teachers
*To decide what materials and resources they need
*To problem solve and communicate with others

Documentation:
Children have the right:
*To have their work displayed
*To make their learning visible
*To demonstrate their thinking process
*To help adults shift their image of the child and see the child’s potential
*To look back at their own learning process

The Environment as the Third Teacher
Children have the right to:
*To have interesting and responsive environments
*To natural and beautiful spaces
*To authentic materials and tools
*To consistency
*To a democratic environment that adapts to the changing needs of the
children




Each classroom will have their own culture that is constructed by the individuals that inhabit it
