Reggio Emilia

Approach

''Creativity seems to emerge from multiple experiences, coupled with a well-supported development of personal resources, including a sense of freedom to venture beyond the known.''

Loris Malaguzzi

The Reggio Emilia Approach® is an educational philosophy based on the image of a child with strong potentialities for development and a subject with rights, who learns through the hundred languages belonging to all human beings, and grows in relations with others. At BunnyHill, classroom curriculum is built upon the interests of the children and the observations of the teachers. Children and teachers explore content in meaningful ways, through multiple representations. Varied presentations and expressive media afford all children the opportunity to understand and connect with the themes and content. The classroom environment is viewed as the third teacher, supporting student learning and adapting to meet the needs of our learners. BunnyHill is a community, committed to providing the highest quality learning experiences and encounters for our children, teachers, and parents.

Aesthetic Appreciation

Helping children understand the world around them plays a key role in early childhood development. Children not only need to be taught the core subjects, but they need to learn an appreciation for the arts.

Social Emotional Learning

Emotional well-being during the early years has a powerful impact on social relationships. Children who are emotionally healthy are better able to establish and maintain positive relationships with adults as well as with peers. Social-emotional development is essential to a young child’s sense of well-being.

Receptive Language
