Heads up: This post is 13 years old. My thinking may have evolved since then — read it with that in mind.
Changing Paradigms is another one of Sir Ken Robinson’s talks that inspired me. It introduced me to the Reggio Emilia Approach (REA). Out of all the different early childhood philosophies I’ve learned so far, I like REA the most. Last May, I started organizing an REA inspired playgroup in my home, providing a nurturing environment and inviting other parents to bring their children to play in.
At 100 Village, we believe that quality, affordable early-childhood education is vitally important for society as a whole. Our goal is to help parents raise a new generation of self-confident, capable, awesome change makers!
