MY APPROACH
Empowerment, Communication, Diversity
As a passionate advocate and practitioner of the Reggio Emilia approach in early childhood education, Dan philosophy is deeply rooted in respect for children, their unique capabilities, and the environment they inhabit.
The Reggio Emilia approach emphasizes the importance of child-led learning, where educators act as facilitators, observers, and collaborators in the learning process. She is committed to promoting children's autonomy, curiosity, and sense of wonder by providing rich and meaningful experiences that cater to their interests and developmental needs.
Central to Dan's approach is the belief in the power of documentation as a tool for reflection and communication. Through careful observation and documentation of children's experiences and expressions, we gain insights into their learning journeys and use this information to inform our teaching practices.
By embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion, Dan strives to create inclusive and welcoming spaces where every child feels valued and supported. In summary, Dan's approach as a Reggio Emilia enthusiast is centered around honoring children as competent and capable individuals, fostering meaningful relationships, and creating engaging learning opportunities that inspire lifelong learners.
Dan is dedicated to continuing her journey in early childhood education with a commitment to excellence and a passion for nurturing the next generation of thinkers and creators.
