Newtowne School & A Reggio-Emilia inspired cooperative preschool in the heart of Harvard Square

Cambridge, MA

Drawing inspiration from the Reggio Emilia schools in Italy, we use emergent and inquiry-based approaches to curriculum design, where topics emerge from the interests and questions children bring with them into the classroom. Teachers provide materials and guidance to help them build upon their interests. Children begin to develop their own conclusions through exploration and carefully-scaffolded learning activities. These activities, or provocations, frequently involve natural, open-ended materials that are thoughtfully staged in a way that inspires play and investigation. We believe that children have infinite ways of “seeing and being” in the world and that children have the right to express themselves using their “hundred languages.” Our most important job is to provide them diverse tools to inspire novel thoughts, express feelings, and provoke wonder as they play.
