The Reggio Emilia approach
The Reggio Emilia approach focuses on fostering creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration, offering a holistic, dynamic learning experience. It celebrates children as capable learners and highlights the importance of an enriching environment, meaningful relationships, and active participation from educators and families in the learning journey.
The British Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum
The EYFS curriculum provides a comprehensive framework for children's early learning and development. It supports the idea that children are active learners who thrive in an environment that nurtures their curiosity and development. The balance of structured and unstructured activities, the focus on play, and the inclusion of both social-emotional and academic learning ensure that children receive a well-rounded foundation for their future education.
