The Early Years Wing

A great part of the Reggio Emilia model is its emphasis on physical space. Designed with natural light and order, classrooms have wide-open areas for kids to explore as well as cozy nooks for small-group learning. They are filled with both single purpose toys and “loose parts” – authentic materials kids can experiment with because evidence has shown that curiosity flourishes in the presence of real-world elements. Light tables and smart TVs bring new technology. Cupboards double as magnetic and writing spaces. Shelves incorporate seating areas for kids to read and play. Our Early Years Wing was the first stage of our Building Original Minds and has been completed.
