Our Classroom
In the Reggio Emilia philosophy, the classroom is considered the “third teacher,” playing a vital role in fostering children’s learning and exploration. The environment is intentionally designed to be welcoming, inspiring, and reflective of the children’s interests and creativity. Key features include:
Open-ended Materials: Natural and recycled items are accessible to encourage creativity and self-expression.
Flexible Spaces: Areas are adaptable to suit changing projects and group needs, promoting collaboration and discovery.
Documentation: Children’s work, thoughts, and progress are displayed to honor their learning and invite reflection.
Connection to Nature: The classroom often integrates natural elements, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor learning.
Child-Centered Design: Everything is arranged at the child’s level to support independence and engagement.
This thoughtful approach views the classroom as a living, evolving space that sparks curiosity and supports meaningful, self-directed learning experiences.
Nutrition
We prioritize child nutrition by offering a well-balanced, lacto-vegetarian menu featuring homemade, nutritious meals. Each day includes a morning snack, a wholesome lunch, and an afternoon snack, ensuring children receive the energy and nourishment they need to thrive. To maintain consistency and meet dietary standards, we do not allow outside food. Our meals are thoughtfully prepared to support growth and development, with a variety of fresh, nutrient-rich ingredients that cater to young, growing bodies.
