Hi everyone! I am setting up and preparing to open an in home daycare. I am hoping to apply the Reggio Emilia principles, and have been researching ways to implement them within my program, but I cannot find much on how to set up/apply them to a mixed age home setting. Any input you guys can give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I taught in Reggio-inspired preschools for for 12 years before opening my Reggio-inspired fcc 10 years ago. There are definitely differences and challenges at home! Do you have specific questions? (I don't know where to start!) You can check out my facebook page for a peek at my program (though I save more in-depth documentation for a private blog for families, where I can share more personal information). Would love to chat with other Reggio-inspired providers.

Welcome!

After years of teaching and inspired by my own daughter's prechool experience, I am launching a home-based Reggio Inspired Preschool program this summer so I am deep in the trenches and have been studying with some Reggio greats.

There is a Reggio Conference in Toronto this June you should come! http://reggioalliance.org/events/conferences/

Also look to see if there are in Reggio Inspired Centers in your area as some do offer workshops and it is a great way to build local connections with like minded educators.

What questions do you have? I am no expert but love chatting ECE and Reggio
