Angel Arms Learning Center/Kids Company Preschool

---

At Angel Arms Learning Center / Kids Company Preschool we believe that every child deserves a strong start in life. 

We are committed to providing a high-quality education that promotes social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development.

The Reggio Emilia philosophy is based upon the following set of principles:

1-Children must have some control over the direction of their learning;

2-Children must be able to learn through experiences of touching, moving, listening, and observing;

3-Children have a relationship with other children and with material items in the world that they must be allowed to explore;

4-Children must have endless ways and opportunities to express themselves.

• In addition to that we believe and have made it a priority with our team on building up the self confidence of  every child in our center.

The Reggio Emilia approach to teaching young children puts the natural development of children as well as the close relationships that they share with their environment at the center of its philosophy.

The foundation of the Reggio Emilia approach lies in its unique view of the child

to foster education in the youngest learners to promote the best possible integration 

among children’s "100 languages". In this approach, there is a belief that children have

 rights and should be given opportunities to develop their potential. Children are 

considered to be “knowledge bearers”, so

they are encouraged to share their thoughts and ideas about everything they could meet or do during the day.

“Influenced by this belief, the child is beheld as beautiful, powerful, competent, 

creative, curious, and full of potential and ambitious desires." The child is viewed as 

being an active constructor of knowledge. Rather than being seen as

the target of instruction, children are seen as having the active role of an apprentice.This role also extends to that ofa researcher.

 Much of the instruction at Reggio Emilia schools takes place in the form of projects where they have opportunities to explore, observe, hypothesize, question, and discuss to clarify their understanding. 

Children are also viewed as social beings and a focus is made on the child in relation 

to other children, the family, the teachers, and the community rather than on each 

child in isolation.

 They are taught that respect for everyone else is important

because everyone is a “subjective agency ” while existing as part of a group.

• Reggio Emilia's approach to early education reflects a theoretical kinship with John Dewey, Jean Piaget, Vygotsky and Jerome Bruner, among others. Much of what occurs in the class reflects a constructivist approach to early education.
