Founder of the Reggio Approach

Reggio Emilia Approach to Early Childhood Education is named after the town of Reggio Emilia in the Romagna province of northern Italy. In Reggio Emilia, publicly funded schools provide education for children from birth to six years. These schools have been described as among the best in the world!  Although the Reggio approach was initially implemented in Early Childhood settings, it is now being integrated in Elementary schools around the world including Reggio Emilia itself.
