The Reggio approach had its beginnings in 1945 in the municipal infant-toddler centers and preschools of Reggio Emilia, Italy. Loris Malaguzzi, an innovator in education, developed an educational philosophy based on relationships between children, parents, and teachers. He emphasized both children and teachers as co-learners exploring and living together, using tools of listening, observing, and flexibility to create the learning space.

Rather than following a standard curriculum model with pre-determined units of study, our Reggio-inspired curriculum has an underlying structure based on guided learning and collaboration. This approach engages the interests and skills of each individual child, interweaving teachings on a broad range of disciplines through real world learning. Within each Reggio community, short and long term projects emerge that highlight children’s learning processes.

Our PlayHouse understands that not every family has the same needs, so we do our best to accommodate each family's scheduling requests. Some families need full day preschool for their children, while others need a part-time schedule and the flexibility of having their child stay a few afternoons a week. It’s our goal to be flexible and meet the needs of each family.

Our PlayHouse is open from 7:30 - 5:00. We offer early care from 7:30 - 8:30, morning preschool from 8:30 - 12:30, extended day preschool from 12:30 - 3:00 and aftercare from 3:00 - 5:00.
