Our Pedagogy

We see children as capable and curious. Learning begins with their ideas. We follow their interests through an emergent curriculum. We listen closely and document their growth. Teachers learn alongside children through careful observation.

We treat the environment as a third teacher—filled with natural materials, gentle rhythms, and opportunities for open-ended play. Our space invites children to explore at their own pace and in their own way, surrounded by beauty and intention.

At the heart of our pedagogy is relationship: between child and teacher, between child and peers, and between child and self. We use positive guidance and attuned caregiving to nurture emotional resilience, empathy, and joy in learning. Every interaction is an opportunity to build trust, spark curiosity, and celebrate the many languages children use to make meaning of their world and support their social emotional growth.

A special part of our program is daily music immersion, where children are invited to explore rhythm, melody, and sound through singing, movement, and hands-on instruments. Music becomes another language through which children express themselves, connect with others, and deepen their joy in learning.

In addition, our atelier is a dedicated creative studio space where children are encouraged to explore materials, test ideas, and express themselves freely through visual art. It’s a calm, inspiring environment designed for open-ended exploration through curated provocations—where paint, clay, natural elements, and recycled materials are thoughtfully presented to invite curiosity and discovery. Whether children are working on collaborative projects or following their own creative threads, the atelier supports deep thinking and reflection. It’s a place where the process is valued over the product, and where each child’s voice is seen, heard, and celebrated through their work.

What is Reggio Emilia?

The Reggio Emilia approach is a philosophy of early childhood education that began in Italy after World War II. At its heart, it sees children as capable, curious, and full of potential. Learning is child-led and built around their interests, questions, and ideas.

Instead of rigid lesson plans, teachers use an emergent curriculum that is flexible and evolves throughout the year based on questions children have about the world around them. The environment is treated as a “third teacher”—intentionally designed to be interacted with independently, filled with natural and open-ended materials that spark creativity and discovery. We encourage expression, collaboration, and connection—because we believe children learn best when they feel inspired, trusted, and have a sense of community.
