Child-Youth Relationships

"The child must know that he or she is a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn't been, and until the end of the world, there will not be, another child like him"
- Pablo Casal

Reggio practice reflects deep respect for the primal need to know and be known by others. Families are invited to visit our board in the hallway outside of Classroom 2 to become re-inspired by the relationship building evident in the Child-Youth partnerships. Our Big Friends are featured engaging with our little friends during indoor and outdoor activities, leading projects, and supporting routines.

Pause and reflect on the stories these pictures tell. There is representation of mutual curiosity, co-created designs, exploration of texture and motion, sharing language, and strong evidence of joy! Who does your child know? Who knows your child?
