My students are made up of a diverse mix of children who reside on the South side of Chicago. The children range in age from 2-5 years old, with a large part of the population being children with special needs. Our school is entirely early childhood, with five blended classrooms and two instructional classrooms. Our educational philosophy is influenced by an emergent curriculum based out of Italy called the Reggio Emilia Approach. Our curriculum is not only child-interest based, but relies heavily on the arts as an avenue for expression. Art materials, such as clay, wire, paper, paint, light and shadow, support interest-based work happening the classroom, as well as an avenue for extension and collaborative work between children. A large part of our philosophy is that we believe in providing students with art experiences, where we use high-end art materials, to encourage theory development.
