play + soft

"Exploring, walking, crawling, experimenting with high and low: all these experiences activate the tonic function and propioception, but above all engage the child’s emotional body; that is, the body as source of big emotions and deep sensations. A body that becomes the primary source of the identity-building processes and the essential protagonist of the learning and knowledge-building processes." REGGIO CHILDREN

i spent the better part of a saturday with teachers from different schools all working on pedagogical documentation, all collaborating and sharing and looking closely at the work of the children in their care.

 i have an amazing opportunity to work in a place that implements the principles of a Reggio-inspired approach. 

Clover is at a Reggio-inspired daycare centre...

 but nothing shines quite as bright as the schools in Reggio Emilia.
