Fascinating and Eye Opening!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bringing Reggio Emilia Home: An Innovative Approach to Early Childhood Education (Early Childhood Education Series) (Paperback)
As a newcomer to the principles behind the Reggio Emilia approach, I found this well written and interesting book to be the perfect introduction. The mix of case studies along with practical educator insights provide a real understanding of how Reggio Emilia schools operate. As a parent who is "shopping" for a preschool, this book showed me what early childhood education can be like - which i hope will allow me to make a more informed choice for my child. I'd recommend this book to educators and parents alike. A must read!

What Learning Can Be,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bringing Reggio Emilia Home: An Innovative Approach to Early Childhood Education (Early Childhood Education Series) (Paperback)
Terrific account of a teacher's experience with the Reggio approach to creative, joyful early childhood education. Dr. Cadwell brought the approach from a village in Italy to The College School in St. Louis; the reader feels like s/he was part of the journey too. This book is a terrific must-read for teachers or parents interested in early childhood development

An inspirational experience,
By Claudia Maria Cadena (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bringing Reggio Emilia Home: An Innovative Approach to Early Childhood Education (Early Childhood Education Series) (Paperback)
This book has certainly open my eyes to the importance of bringing children (their teachers amd parents) and nature in contact as a mean to develop their sense of exploration, imagination, creativity and collaboration.It provided me with a clear understanding of the Reggio Emilia approach principles, and how I could as a parent encourage my child to explore, learn and enjoy through natural materials.
