About
International interest in Italy's Reggio Emilia schools exploded when Newsweek
magazine dubbed them "the best preschools in the world". The beautiful philosophy has many educational concepts we value deeply at THE HILLS SCHOOL AND ATELIER and it inspires our important work with children.
We believe:
* Children are born with rights
* Children are competent
* Children use many "languages" to communicate their experience
* Children are not empty vessels to fill with facts, figures and dates but come to school with ideas, preferences and hypotheses to explore
* Children learn best through loving, authentic relationships
* Child development and current brain research best informs our practice
We aim:
* For peaceful, unhurried childhoods and parenthoods
* To be connected with the natural world
* For "Nothing Without Joy!" -Loris Malaguzzi, philosopher of the Reggio Emilia approach
Our emphasis is on engaging children in developmentally appropriate practices through art, music, creative play, and stories/literature; all within a rich and exciting Reggio Emilia-inspired approach. We offer several schedules with varied hours and days of the week to suit your child and family.
We'd love to show you what we've created for the very young!
