REGGIO INSPIRED CURRICULUM
At Happy Valley Early Learning Centre we are thrilled to be collaborating with Reggio Exchange to enhance our pedagogical approach. This partnership allows us to deepen our commitment to inquiry-based learning, ensuring that our educators are equipped with the tools and knowledge to inspire curiosity and foster meaningful learning experiences for every child. Using a self-guided curriculum, children are allowed to express themselves in different ways as they develop their personality. Activities such as painting, drawing, sculpting, and drama are encouraged, as these are all seen as “languages” children use. By allowing children to engage in meaningful learning experiences, the Reggio Emilia approach helps to instil a love of learning, enhances early education and prepares children for the transition into school. Under the Reggio Emilia approach, children are viewed as active, capable and valuable members of the community. They are encouraged to explore, question, and interpret the world during the first five years of life, as creating a solid foundation of experiences during these early years helps each child reach their full potential. Educators using the Reggio Emilia approach believe that children should have some control over their learning. Children have many languages in art, music, and drama, and they should be encouraged to learn through experiences like listening, moving, touching and observing.
