Inspiring Learning Through the Reggio Emilia Approach
At Cento Doral, we embrace the Reggio Emilia Approach—a dynamic educational philosophy that celebrates the innate curiosity and creativity of every child. Here’s what you need to know:
Child-Centered Learning
Our approach places the child at the heart of the learning process. We believe that children are competent, capable learners who express themselves through “a hundred languages”—from drawing and storytelling to movement and music
Strong Foundations
The Reggio Emilia Approach focuses on building strong foundations during the early years. Our preschool environment encourages exploration, problem-solving, and collaboration, allowing children to thrive.
Educators as
Co-Learners
Our skilled educators act as co-learners alongside the children. They observe, document, and engage in meaningful interactions, fostering a rich learning experience.
The Atelier and Creative Expression
The atelier (art studio) plays a central role. Children explore materials, express ideas, and engage in artistic endeavors. An atelierista guides these creative processes.
Respect for Children’s Perspectives
We respect each child’s unique perspective and encourage them to follow their own educational path. Learning must make sense to the student, even our youngest learners
Community and Environment
Children learn best when connected to their community and environment. We create a welcoming space where they can explore, discover, and connect with others.
