Education based on relationships. A strong network of relationships is established between the children, parents and teachers of Reggio settings to promote continuous communication between them. These key stakeholders work together to create a spirit of cooperation and co-construction of knowledge. There is a strong focus on social collaboration and working in groups, where each child is an equal participant. Parents may participate actively in the learning development of their children. In Alphablocks Nursery School & Pre-Prep, Hadley Wood, we work closely with parents in sharing and developing the children’s learning in order to ensure a consistent approach between school and home. We encourage parents to be involved as much as possible in the life of the setting by volunteering to participate in events and shadow or lead activities. We also hold parent workshops on various aspects of our curriculum and parent classes on child development.
