The Reggio-Inspired Way at Fiddlehead

At Fiddlehead School, we embrace a Reggio Emilia-inspired approach to learning, built on the belief that children are curious, capable, and full of potential.

Our Guiding Principles

• Children as Capable Learners: Every child is seen as creative, resourceful, and ready to engage in meaningful learning.
• Relationships Matter: Learning thrives in the connections between children, teachers, families, and the environment.
• Family Partnerships: Families are collaborators in the learning journey.
• The Environment as a Teacher: Our indoor and outdoor spaces are designed to spark exploration and discovery.
• Teachers as Guides: Teachers and students learn together, co-creating knowledge through curiosity and collaboration.

Personalized Growth

Each child’s journey is captured in a portfolio, shared with families twice a year, celebrating milestones and highlighting areas for growth. Students learn alongside peers of varying ages, building confidence, empathy, and a sense of community as they progress at their own pace.
