Children are not simply empty vessels for us to fill. Oftentimes the best thing we can do for our little learners is to take a step back and give them space to think, to create, to collaborate, to communicate, to problem solve...
The Reggio Emilia approach to learning reminds us that each child is capable and competent. Our educators create intentional space by filling the role of observer, listener, researcher, and documenter.

We work to provide an inclusive, caring environment that celebrates our students as individuals. Saxapahaw Village Kids is a Reggio Emilia inspired, play-based preschool. At SVK, we recognize that every child has unique skills, talents, and interests.

It's Pride Month and we're here to share some of our favorite pride stories for little people. Folks often ask us how we approach this topic in our preschool classrooms, here are a few of the basics!
π Focus on Family. Explaining that families come in all shapes and sizes, and what makes a family a family is love.
π Explain the Rainbow Flag. It's a symbol that shows everyone is welcome! Just like there are many different colors in a rainbow, there are many different kinds of people in the world, and that makes our community beautiful.
π Emphasize Kindness & Being Yourself. Pride Month is a time to celebrate being exactly who you are, and loving who you love. It's a reminder to be kind to everyone, even if they are different from you, and to make sure everyone feels safe and happy.
π Conversations About Fairness. Sometimes, not everyone is treated nicely just for being who they are. Pride is a time to celebrate how hard people work to make sure everyone is treated equally and fairly.
Check out this list of wonderful children's books on the topic! π

It might look simple, but this is where the foundations are built. Not just skills, but confidence. Not just knowledge, but curiosity.
