The Reggio Emilia Philosophy

In my opinion schools that uses the Reggio Emilia philosophy are very clever. If I had the options to choose from a two different types of schools, and one of them uses the Reggio philosophy I would most definitely chose that school. The reason I am so keen on this philosophy is because a majority of their focus is on art. Children are introduced to the idea of expressing themselves through art. Whether it is their thoughts or their feelings, art is the main medium used to represent children. Reggio Emilia uses art as a form of learning for the children. In a Reggio Emilia environment, art is everywhere. This helps children to appreciate others artwork as well as feel happy and confident in themselves when they see their work being displayed.
