Our Approach: Montessori & Reggio Emilia Learning

🌿 What is Montessori?

Montessori is a child-centered educational method based on self-directed activity, hands-on learning, and collaborative play. Children make creative choices in their learning, while the teacher gently guides them through age-appropriate activities. Montessori environments feature natural materials, open shelves, and spaces that promote independence.

Honors each child’s pace of learning

🌻 What is Reggio Emilia?

Reggio Emilia is a project-based approach that values the child as strong, capable, and full of potential. Teachers and children co-construct knowledge by exploring questions, materials, and interests together. The environment acts as the “third teacher,” with beautiful, intentional spaces designed to provoke curiosity and connection.

Benefits:

Respects children’s voice, thoughts, and individuality

Promotes creativity and critical thinking
