At Reggio Kids, we respect the right of young children to play. Play is the child's most important work. It holds much promise in its ability to deliver, not only the traditional expectations for developing school skills such as literacy, math and science but most importantly it nurtures the growth of the whole child. At the centre of our pedagogy lies our powerful image of the child. We have a deep respect for the culture of childhood, and a strong belief that children, teachers, and parents must work together in the process of raising children to be responsible citizens. We provide children with a school that respects them as competent individuals who are viewed as contributors to the process of learning. The possibilities are endless when we trust and respect the capabilities of children. The curriculum at Reggio Kids explores "the hundred languages of children", using both extended projects and daily experiences to meet the milestones of child development.Operating two locations in Richmond Hill, ON, Reggio Kids is a privately owned preschool directed by experienced Early Childhood Educators who are committed to maximizing each child’s learning potential.
