Piccoli Preschool

Our Programmes

The curriculum is often emergent in nature and based on the interests of the children. The environment plays a central role in the process of making learning meaningful. Our children spend 1-2 hours outdoors in our garden every morning, followed by indoor play at different stations. They also have academic learning and individual tutoring for ages 4 ， 5 and 6 to get them ready for primary school.

Our Programmes

Reggio Emilia Approach

Child-Led Learning

Children are active participants in their learning process,constructing knowledge based on their own interests and experiences.

Community Collaboration

The Reggio Emilia approach places emphasis on relationships and interactions among children, parents, and teachers as they are vital for learning and development.

Expressive Communication

The Reggio Emilia curriculum is established around the fact that children are natural communicators and must be encouraged to communicate through various languages that act as alternative forms of expression, such as art and music

Classroom Environment

The classroom environment provides a sense of belonging and is designed to be inviting, stimulating, and reflective of the children’s cultures and interests. It also offers a variety of materials and resources for exploration and discovery.

Teacher Role

The teacher is a co-learner and a facilitator who observes, listens, documents, and supports the children’s learning processes, rather than directing or instructing them. The teacher also collaborates with other teachers, parents, and experts to enrich the curriculum and the learning environment.

Documentation

Documentation is a tool for making learning visible and meaningful. The teacher and the children document their experiences, thoughts, and reflections through various media, such as photos, videos, transcripts, and artworks. Documentation helps to assess, evaluate, and communicate the learning outcomes, as well as to plan for further inquiry and development.

Project Approach

The project approach is a method for organizing and integrating the curriculum. The teacher and the children engage in long-term, in-depth investigations of topics that emerge from the children’s interests and questions. The projects involve research, experimentation, representation, and presentation of the findings.
