First developed by teacher Loris Malaguzzi, the Reggio Emilia Approach focuses on the importance of community and free inquiry. In this approach to early childhood education, children are viewed as competent, resourceful, strong, resilient and full of curiosity. Children are an active participant in their own education. Emphasis is put on allowing a child to drive their own learning, based on their interests. As they interact with others and the environment around them, children will gain knowledge through their own investigation.
In the Reggio Emilia Approach, children are also encouraged to explore their ideas through a variety of “languages”, including art, music, written and spoken language, pretend play, sculpture and more. Questions are welcomed, and are not answered solely by the educator; instead, the teacher and child will explore together to find the answer.
The Building Blocks Enrichment Programs put your child in the center of a fun-filled integrated learning environment where physical development and learning skills are the basis of every game, activity, and exercise. Our programs make learning fun and empower your child with the tools that foster creativity, curiosity, and confidence – everything they’ll need to succeed in school…and in life. Highlights include: art, music, Spanish, & physical education.
