LEARNING IS A COLLABORATIVE ARTThe Reggio-Emilia approach to early childhood education emphasizes the playful, creative nature of children – not just as an inherent quality, but as a key tool for learning. By embracing children as active participants in their own education, we create an environment that encourages cooperation, problem solving and creativity – skills that are becoming increasingly sought after in the modern world.TEACHERS AS CO-LEARNERSAt Villa Kinderwelt-German Kindergarten Doha, teachers are partners in the learning process, using tools of listening, observing, and flexibility to create the learning space. When teachers observe interests within the classroom, they offer provocations, guidance and insights to extend topics of investigation and encourage problem solving skills.EMERGENT, PROJECT-BASED LEARNINGOur curriculum emerges from the interests of the children. If an interesting ladybug is found on the playground, we might begin a project on insects- researching their habitats, diet, or defining characteristics. Across all classrooms and projects, literacy, mathematics, and science are naturally interwoven as the curriculum unfolds, rather than boxed off into artificially compartmentalized disciplines.ENVIRONMENT AS TEACHERThe environment is considered to be the third teacher, and is designed for learning and exploration that fosters the development of the child's one hundred languages. The classroom is meant to be an extension of the rest of the child's world, and is therefore designed with a beauty and complexity that reflects the culture in which the children are growing.Our environment is offering open-ended materials for children to explore, play, and learn freely. With Kindness you reflect your respectKindness is not just an abstract principle or a nice idea. It's about practical skills and real world values that children will apply throughout their lives.
