Why The Environment Is Considered The 3rd Teacher in The Reggio Emilia Approach
“We place enormous value on the
role of the environment as a motivating and animating force in
creating spaces for relations, options, and emotional and cognitive
situations that produce a sense of well-being and security.”
Our Learning Environment
At Fiorella Di Reggio Emilia School, we believe the environment is
more than a backdrop it is the third teacher.
Inspired by the Reggio
Emilia approach, our thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor
spaces are rich with natural light, texture, and purpose, encouraging
exploration, collaboration, and meaningful discovery.
From open-ended materials to nature-infused spaces, every detail of
our environment is intentionally curated to support child-led
learning, emotional security, and creative expression.
Children are
encouraged to move freely, make choices, and interact with their
surroundings, thereby fostering independence and confidence from
an early age.

Fiorella Di Reggio Emilia School – Where beauty, learning, and imagination grow together.
The carefully designed settings are a cornerstone of our commitment to providing an authentic, aesthetically pleasing, and culturally relevant learning environment.
In this environment, teachers work alongside students in a collaborative, co-learning relationship, supporting a lateral dynamic rather than a hierarchical one.
This partnership extends to families and the broader community, creating a holistic and inclusive learning experience

The Environment as the Third Teacher
Our Learning Environment
Thoughtfully designed spaces spark curiosity, creativity, and connection, making learning visible and meaningful.
At Fiorella Di Reggio Emilia School, our classrooms are filled with natural light, open-ended materials, and authentic art tools like clay, watercolor, charcoal, and natural elements.
These carefully chosen resources encourage children to explore, express, and engage deeply with the world around them.
Our environment is intentionally beautiful, functional, and responsive—an ever-evolving space that reflects children’s ideas, interests, and growth.
