Both the Montessori and Reggio Emilia educational approaches believe in the dogma “follow the child”, and offer specially prepared learning environments where children are free to explore and play with things that are of interest to them. We believe that the blending of these two constructivist educational philosophies, and inclusion of STEAM activities creates a program that focuses on the development of the whole child through experiences in social, cognitive, emotional and physical development; while also fostering independence, positive self-concept, innovation, creativity, critical thinking, problem solving – all important in supporting all the developmental and intellectual needs of the 21st century learner.
