Preschool Curriculum

Reggio Emilia-Inspired Learning Approach

Inspired by the internationally-renowned Reggio Emilia Inspired philosophy, our Nursery embraces a widely-respected Preschool approach that places students at the centre of the learning process. Loris Malaguzzi, the charismatic founder of the philosophy, firmly believed that children are born competent and naturally curious. He regarded young students as resourceful, creative thinkers who should be inspired to explore their potential.

From Stage 1 to Stage 5, our Preschool curriculum builds upon student's innate interests, ideas, thoughts, and observations as they learn what sparks their curiosity. Team planning is an essential component of the construction of the syllabus, and our team of preschool teachers encapsulate literacy, numeracy and life skills into daily activities.

Nursery School Teachers

The teacher's role within the Reggio Emilia Inspired approach is complex. First and foremost, they are considered students alongside students, and their role is to provoke, co-construct, and stimulate thinking and peer collaboration. Whilst nurturing the essence of childhood, teachers are also 'teacher-researchers'; they regard themselves as a resource and a guide to the student in their care. The Reggio Emilia Inspired approach is distinctive and innovative as a Preschool teaching method. It effectively supports our student's interests and fosters intellectual development by systematically focusing on symbolic representation.

Preschool Environment

From birth to age six, young students are invited to explore the preschool environment and express themselves through many 'languages' or different ways of expression. 'Languages' are conveyed through words, movement, drawing, painting, sculpture, shadow play, collage and music.

Within the Reggio Emilia Inspired philosophy, different approaches are valued. Thus students are given access to many tools, materials, and media to express themselves. A healthy relationship between the home, school, and community supports learning and allows teachers and families to support development across a number of environments.

Communication Skills

In the early stages of education, learning is viewed as a journey. Preschool education is centred upon building respect and trust between students, parents and teachers while establishing connections between ideas and the environment. The students in our care are listened to and given the support they need to develop to the best of their ability. They are guided by caring teachers, who ensure that as students grow, they gain every opportunity to build a lifelong passion for exploration.
