Our Environment

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

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.
