The Reggio Environment

We are also inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, an educational philosophy that informs how we design our indoor and outdoor learning environments to encourage exploration, creativity, and autonomy. It also influences our emphasis on daily documentation of children’s learning and our belief in educators as facilitators and enablers, rather than direct instructors. This philosophy aligns with our vision of nurturing respectful, responsible, and curious learners through a responsive and community-driven early years experience.

The Piazza

The central meeting place where Children share their play and conversation. The elevations are cladded with Mirrors to reinforce the philosophy of seeing “Oneself “and constructing one’s own identity.

The Imagination Blue Blocks

It is the perfect area for them to participate in activities that promote gross motor skills and sensory games. It also serves as a gym, where children can tumble and jump safely and it includes balance steps and beam. Moreover children can unlock their creative spirit by our incredible play system of imagination blocks. These blocks combine the benefits of many different play activities including dramatic and gross motor play.

The Atelier

“Our task, regarding creativity, is to help children climb their own mountains, as high as possible. No one can do more”Loris Malaguzzi
 It is the art studio where children work with the Atelierista (The art specialist) to create monthly themes related projects. Pretend play, is one of the essential preschool activities for children as it sparks their interest in what is hidden inside them and opens the door to a world of limitless possibilities and creativity. In the Aterlier, children can explore their drama and acting abilities by wearing costumes of their choice and act the roles they admire.

Walls and Ceilings of Creativity
