Named after the founder of the schools in Reggio Emilia, Italy, the Malaguzzi classroom is for 4-yr old preschoolers.

Hi!

I love seeing the children grow and learn. There are so many developmental milestones that I get to see and experience. I fell in love with the Reggio approach and work to incorporate it in all my experiences with children. It has definitely taught me to treat children as citizens of the world.
I honestly could go on about how much I love the work I do and how passionate I feel about every child having quality care but that would take eons. So I will end with these two quotes:
“To take children seriously is to value them for who they are right now rather than adults-in-the-making.”
Alfie Kohn
If you trust play, you will not have to control your child’s development as much. Play will raise the child in ways you can never imagine.
