Description:

This beautiful book describes the revolution that the Reggio Emilia atelier (art studio) brought to the education of young children in Italy, and follows that revolution across the ocean to North America. It explores how the experiences of children interacting with rich materials in the atelier affect an entire school’s approach to the construction and expression of thought and learning. Offers detailed interviews with Italian educators, examples of projects, information on practical aspects such as organizing the environment, and much more. From Teachers College Press.
