School Notes
- Children's Discovery Center was founded on a mission to cultivate and nurture young minds through the unique Reggio Emilia educational philosophy. Recognized around the world, this inquiry-based approach invites children to explore concepts by investigating, creating and collaboratively solving problems as a group. The teacher and children work together to design projects that encourage growth in physical, emotional, creative and intellectual development. The teacher facilitates higher level thinking with the child, and acts as a resource and guide of learning in the classroom.
