What is the Reggio Emilia Approach?

The Reggio Emilia Approach was initially created after World War II, in the small Italian city of Reggio Emilia. The approach focuses on fostering relationships among, children, teachers, parents, and community. It builds on the premise that each child has the desire to connect with others, to engage in learning, and to enter into a relationship with his or her environment. An integral part of the approach is hands-and-minds on exploration of materials and media.
