Answer
The inspiring and innovative approach of The Reggio Emilia to early childhood
education shows that they value the strength of child, their capabilities and knowledge
(EDUCATION SCOTLAND, 2018). The inspiring educational system undertaken by Reggio
Emilia can be applied to preschools along with adapting them in homes also. Being a part of
global staffroom, it becomes our responsibility to find out best educational system and adapt
those which have already proven to be flourishing. While making a study of The Reggio
Emilia approach it was found that there were many features taken up by them that can be
adopted in our systems only if there are no constraints about funding.
Although making a direct replication of The Reggio would not be ethical, their approach can
be utilised in many ways to make necessary changes in our educational system. First step that
can be adopted is to translate any new educational approach or philosophy that reflects
current practices. According to them, every individual must identify their professional and
personnel development and thus Reggio followed their home country, Scottish principles
(Sightlines Initiative, 2015).
Practitioners need to make policies not only for staffs by also for the people who make
policies for educational systems. Many institutes’ constraints teachers to achieve targeted
goals according to the external mandates which reflect their difficulties during personnel
practice. The primary roles of preschool are to develop and broaden child’s learning
experiences to make them confident for primary schools. Young children as compared to
grownups are more enthusiastic and active learners. This feature has been keenly recognised
by The Reggio that needs be applied in every school by treating each child individually and
according to their interest (Gribble, 2017).
