Since kindergarten we had never gotten less than a 100 in any class. We had both been crewmen for the Goldenberg for four years so far.…
6. Citizens and parents Involvement: parents in Reggio schools are actively involved in facilitating children learning processes and improving the quality of education. People in Reggio schools believe that children, parents, and teachers form a small community where they have the right to suggest and exchange ideas to support children learning. Additionally, parental involvement is considered as a mirror that reflects children learning. Parents are given great opportunities not only to attend meetings but to also participate in a larger contexts. For example, they are encourages to take care of the nature and environment in the Reggio schools. An additional example is that parents can involve in the schools’ projects, so…

The Reggio Approach believes that children are driven by curiosity and imagination. Reggio considers early infancy to be a distinct developmental phase in which children demonstrate an extraordinary curiosity about the world. The expressive arts as a vehicle for learning are of central importance in then Reggio Approach. Children are inherently expressive and creative and use their imagination to explore and understand the world they live in. Reggio believes focus can be on the process of learning not the end product.…
Reggio Emilia’s approach focuses on an "education based on relationships" seeing each child in relation to others and seeks to activate and support children's relationships with other children, family, teachers, society, and the environment. Teachers should follow the children's interests and not…
While being in this course I have learned about the different curriculums, philosophies and theories. In this paper I will be discussing how to develop an appropriate curriculum for preschool children. This paper will include the following topics: the theories and/or philosophies of Montessori; concepts learned throughout this course, how to apply them into an early childhood classroom focusing on the understanding components to design a curriculum for a preschool classroom based on ages 3 to 5 year old children. First let’s discuss the philosophies of both Maria Montessori and Jean Piaget.…
Maria Montessori 1870-1975 was a doctor and worked with children with learning disabilities. She believed that up until the age of six a child was capable of learning things quickly and more easily than the mind of an older person. She believed up until the age of six years old that a child has an ‘absorbent mind’ and that people should make good use of this time and that it should not be wasted. She believed…
Reggio, influences the EYFS in many ways like practitioners providing the children initiated play, also enabling environment that prompts practitioners to think about how rich the environment is for the children as well as emphasis on sensory and outdoor play, providing children ways of learning through play.…
There are no two Reggio Emilia approaches the same as the needs of the community are different to the next community. Children will gain an understanding of themselves as an individual by interacting with others; children learn through interacting and socialising with their peers and having their thoughts, ideas and questions valued by others. Adults do not instigate or give children knowledge as they must explore this for themselves through their own investigations. Children learn through asking questions and using language as play; using a variety of sounds and rhymes and enjoying communicating with others. Children are guided and encouraged to learn through language to explore and to be able to reflect on their experiences and findings; practitioners must ensure children are listened to with respect and that their questions are valued by them and are an opportunity to work together to explore the world and the community around them to fulfil their curiosities.…
When first starting in early childhood the perfect classroom environment can easily be mistaken for a perfect quiet controlled one. The truth is one that is controlled only in small proportions by the adult and dictated by the children can prove to be a much more thriving and conducive environment. When working in a preschool room variety and observation is one of the top two ingredients for a successful room among many others. When preschool is mentioned the age group that is ideal for this is a multi-age from 2.5 to 5 years old. As Dr. Montessori expresses that this allows children to mentor and learn from different ages of development (Jaruszewicz, 2013). The other ideals for a thriving classroom come from different curriculums and theories. The theories I will explore will be intertwining the classic Montessori methods and Reggio Emilia method with the more modern methods and principles of creative curriculum.…

Philosophical ideas about the development of children arose from old ideas about human nature and history. Many of the philosophers who proposed philosophical ideas about childhood development are considered either nativists or maturationists. The view of nativists is that behavior is innate and is strongly affected by the genes. Maturationists also believe that genes influence behavior, but the behavior grows to maturity because it is under the control of genes. This paper intends to define, as well as, discuss two different philosophical views, which, historically, have been held regarding the nature of psychological development of children. It will then provide a section that compares those historical views with the current conception about the development in children. A conclusion will sum up the discussion.…
