The Child

At the heart of this system is the image of the child. Reggio teachers believe in the competence of every child. Children are curious, capable and inventive. They have an interest in relationships, social interaction, and collaboration. They are able to construct and negotiate their learning through exploration and inquiry. Children are rich with wonder, resourcefulness and an eagerness to learn and experience. By allowing the child to build his/her own foundation, intelligence is not memorized, it is created.
