Our Philosophy and Values

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Our educational philosophy is based upon the principles of the Reggio Emilia approach.

Developed in Italy by Loris Malaguzzi, Reggio Emilia values each child as a strong, capable and resilient learner, with wonder and a passion for learning.

We use a constructivist approach, developing strong general knowledge to build deep conceptual understanding.
