Parma Preschool

Seeing this all over the news and honestly… we’re smiling over here. 😊

The Princess of Wales is traveling to Reggio Emilia, Italy, to study the internationally respected Reggio Emilia Approach to early childhood education.

This is the same philosophy that inspires our school every single day.

At our preschool, this means we believe:
✨ children are capable, curious, and full of potential
✨ relationships and community matter deeply
✨ the environment acts as a “third teacher”
✨ learning happens through exploration, creativity, collaboration, and meaningful experiences
✨ teachers are co-learners alongside children

What started in the small Italian town of Reggio Emilia has now influenced schools all over the world, and it’s exciting to see this approach receiving such global attention.

Sometimes people ask what “Reggio-inspired” means… and now the world is talking about it. ❤️🇮🇹

If you’ve ever walked through our halls and seen:

🎨 documentation panels

🌿 nature woven into learning

🧠 project work based on children’s ideas

💬 meaningful conversations and collaboration

✨ beauty, wonder, and creativity in the classroom

…then you’ve already experienced pieces of this philosophy in action.

We are proud to be a Reggio-inspired school right here in Parma and grateful to share this beautiful way of learning with children and families every day.
