• Collaborate with colleagues to ensure each child’s needs, interests, and abilities are supported and celebrated.
• Contribute to a Reggio Emilia-inspired, child-led learning environment where projects emerge from the children’s ideas and hands-on inquiry.

Setting and Philosophy

Private school setting with small class sizes and excellent support. Reggio Emilia-inspired, child-led learning philosophy.
