Teacher take over post: Mrs. Catherine

“THIS IS REGGIO EDUCATION! This is what I believe in and science backs. Reggio is child-centered learning that emphasizes learning through creativity, social and community collaboration and places the child at the forefront of his/her education. We recognize that children each learn in different ways and it is our job to find the way that best suits them. I have been passionate about the Reggio philosophy for years, and toady I signed my contract to become a full time pedagogista at my school (or program lead). I will work alongside teachers, parents and guide our team in documentation and observation. I will also start an atelier and sensory room and develop art lessons for all ages and community outreach programs. This job is beyond anything I have ever dreamed of, and I am so excited to watch my school and our children grow. They inspire our learning and I can't wait to see where they take us this year. Thank you to all who believed in me and gave me this opportunity!”
