Reggio Emilia Early Learning Centre Parramatta Station

Following the Reggio Emilia philosophy, the curriculum at Reggio Emilia Early Learning Centre is designed around projects. With a focus on fun and play, the children are engaged in the project based around their unique interests. 

The educators document the projects and share the children’s progress through portfolios that document the children’s individual learning journeys. 

The curriculum for the preschool program helps to equip the children with tools and skills they’ll need for their transition to big school. Taught by qualified teachers, the preschool curriculum provides the framework for the different learning activities the children participate in.

In addition to regular incursions and excursions, the children at Reggio Emilia Learning Centre participate in an enriching extracurricular program. This is known as the Reggio 5 and incorporates:

Reggio Art: the children explore different artistic styles and techniques to learn creative expression.

Reggio Fitness: through diverse activities, such as dancing, yoga, soccer and martial arts, the children develop their physical skills while developing healthy lifestyle habits.

Reggio Music: as one of the 100 languages, children learn self-expression through music as well as important social, emotional, language and motor skills.

Reggio Language: to support the children’s cognitive development, they participate in French language lessons.

Reggio Earth: the children learn about sustainability issues, concepts and practices so they can understand their impact on the environment and their role in protecting the earth.

The educators at Reggio Emilia Early Learning Centre are committed to inspiring the children in their care and instilling a lifelong love of learning. Working collaboratively as a team and with the children, the educators provide a rich and nurturing environment where the children are free to explore and discover.

The educators participate in regular ongoing professional development. This learning is designed to enhance their skills and knowledge so they can fulfil their role as inspiring leaders for the children.
