Reggio Emilia daycare

There are more preschool options in Waxahachie today than there were five years ago. That's a good thing for families — but it also means the decision is harder than it used to be. Every school has a website with smiling children and language about nurturing environments and preparing kids for kindergarten. Every school says they care. Most of them mean it. But caring isn't a differentiator. Every parent who starts a preschool cares about children.

The Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education originated in the town of Reggio Emilia in northern Italy after World War II. Parents in that community, determined to rebuild something better for their children, partnered with educator Loris Malaguzzi to create schools built on a radical idea — that children are capable, curious, and competent human beings who deserve environments and teachers that treat them that way.

If you’re searching for daycare, you’re probably thinking about more than just care. You want your child to be safe—but also learning, growing, and ready for school later on. That’s where a Reggio Emilia daycare approach stands out.
