Q: What is the Reggio Emilia approach? A: The city Reggio Emilia in Italy is recognized worldwide for its innovative approach to education: its name comes from the city itself. The keyword of this method is to foster education from the tender age, promoting the best possible integration among children’s languages which, as Loris Malaguzzi said, are a hundred or more.[5] In this approach, there is a belief that children have rights and should be given opportunities to develop their potential. Children are believed “knowledge bearers”, so they are encouraged to share their thoughts and ideas about everything they do during the day. More info here. SOURCE INFO HERE
