Why does the city of Reggio Emilia in northern Italy feature one of
the best public systems of early education in the world? This book
documents the comprehensive and innovative approach that utilizes
the "hundred languages of children" to support their well-being and
foster their intellectual development. Educators in Reggio Emilia,
Italy, use a distinctive innovative approach that supports
children's well-being and fosters their intellectual development
through a systematic focus on symbolic representation. From birth
through age six, young children are encouraged to explore their
environment and express their understanding through many modes of
expression or "languages," including verbal communication,
movement, drawing, painting, sculpture, shadow play, collage, and
music. This organic strategy has been shown to be highly effective,
as the children in Reggio Emilia display surprising examples of
symbolic skill and creativity. This book describes how the
world-renowned preschool services and accompanying practical
strategies for children under six in Reggio Emilia have evolved in
response to the community's demographic and political
transformations, and to generational changes in both the educators
and the parents of the children. The authors provide the reader
with a comprehensive introduction to the Reggio Emilia experience,
and address three of the most important central themes of the work
in Reggio in detail: teaching and learning through relationships;
the hundred languages of children, and how this concept has
evolved; and integrating documentation into the process of
observing, reflecting, and communicating.
