RainbowSprinkles Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 And how do you pronounce the first part of the name? :) I was reading something and this name came up. I guess this is an early childhood education method? Please tell me what you know. :bigear: I'll be going to the library in a few hours, so book suggestions would be great as well!

Hunter Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I think it is Italian. I've seen it for classroom decorating and read a couple books and websites that mentioned it. I've always wanted to know more, but forget about it after not having access to free or affordable resources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommymilkies Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I have a bunch of links to info on my pinterest board: http://pinterest.com/mommymilkies/homeschooling/ Bringing Reggio Emilia Home is a good start. A google search will turn up some good blogs, too. I don't have the links on my laptop right now. It's an early childhood philosophy involving free access to art materials, lots of professional art help (not always feasible), using found materials, beautiful spaces, and documentation of their work. If you search "Reggio Emilia" on amazon, you'll get a good list of books to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 It's all backwards. In a good way. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the daycare my kids attended had a Reggio Emilia inspired art studio and art teacher. It was wonderful the way they explored life through art.

Don't know about it as it relates to homeschool, but Reggio Emilia is a region in Italy. For pronunciation think: ray-geo A-meal-ya (accent on second to last syllables).

redsquirrel Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 My friend's kid was in a Reggio pre-school years ago, and she described it as 'very artistic waldorf' :lol: I know that is not correct, but she was sick of answering questions about it.
