  An innovative Italian Immersion School

Teacher and a group of students on a childcare

An Innovative Italian
Immersion
program (from 2.5 to kindergarten) with a child-centred approach to Early Childhood Education

The Reggio Emilia philosophy makes the child central to their own learning. Each child is seen as being full of potential and curiosity. Peaking that innate curiosity, the Reggio Emilia approach aims to assist them in understanding their environment and their place within it. 

In a supportive and rich setting, children are allowed to explore and discover their interests which will form their specific and individualized curriculum.
