Reggio Emilia Approach (n):
Reggio Emilia is actually a town in Italy!
Originated after World War II (when priorities of respect and community were re-evaluated), the Reggio Emilia approach is an educational philosophy that emphasizes the child as a competent, curious, and capable. Loris Malaguzzi developed this approach with the aim of creating an educational system that valued the unique capabilities and potential of each child. He sought to challenge traditional teaching methods and promote active inquiry, exploration, and collaboration. In his view, this peaceful approach to education should empower children to become critical thinkers, problem solvers, and active contributors to society.
Reggio & Co. est. 2019 is located in Hunt Valley, MD and encompasses Preschool and Kindergarten. It was designed by educators who advocate for a world that teaches children with respect and finally progresses an educational structure beyond the era of the Industrial Revolution.
Our team interferes with how society determines student success, proving that there is so much more to a child's potential than their ability to memorize and be quizzed. Reggio's classrooms effortlessly showcase the respectful, empowering, and supportive environment that children require to develop into
healthy, self-assured adults.
