Kids Country Stow
One thing about our school is that we are inspired by Reggio Emilia and bringing the homey, wood, and natural elements to our classrooms and playgrounds solidifies that we can consider the classroom to be a third teacher. The children are always engaged in open-ended play while learning. From writing their name in sand to stacking rocks and logs they have absolutely endless opportunities with these materials. This helps spark their imagination using everyday items you’d find outside. We have had great success in getting our children engaged with our classroom and being able to back up the true Reggio philosophy. We are always continuing to add more to our classroom and playground to add more natural elements for our children to access and make discoveries with. We also wish to add to our full garden while the kids are helping and learning while physically doing it themselves. We have so much water play and add to our indoor classrooms. Our river helps us spark their interest in water play while indoors.
