What does a Reggio Inspired Program Look Like?

Would you like to know more about what the Reggio Emilia philosophy is?  In this workshop we will discuss the elements that are characteristic of the Reggio Emilia Philosophy and how you can incorporate aspects into your early learning centres.  We will briefly examine: Emergent Curriculum, Project Work, Representational Development, Pedagogical Narration, Collaboration, the Environment as “third teacher”, and the role of the teacher.

Instructors: Sue Woodward and Caren Eigenmann

Sue Woodward and Caren Eigenmann are the co-owners of Childgarden Preschool & Discoveries in Port Moody, BC.  Our image of the child aligns with one of the underlying principles of Reggio Emilia, in which we see the child as “rich in potential, strong, powerful, competent, and most of all connected to adults and other children” (Malaguzzi, 1993, p.10).

Both Sue and Caren are recipients of the Prime Minister’s Award of Excellence in Early Childhood Education in 2012 and 2017 respectively.
