At Wonderwood Preschool, our philosophy is inspired by the RIE, Reggio Emilia, and play-based approaches, each rooted in respect, curiosity, and connection. We are a tri-lingual immersion program; English, Spanish and Italian. We see every child as capable, confident, and full of potential, an active participant in their own learning journey. Guided by the RIE philosophy, we slow down to observe, listen, and build trust, creating peaceful routines that support independence and emotional security. From the Reggio Emilia approach, we embrace the idea that children learn best through exploration, collaboration, and meaningful relationships within a thoughtfully prepared environment. Our play-based curriculum allows children to express ideas, solve problems, and discover the world through hands-on, joyful experiences. Together, these approaches nurture creativity, confidence, and a lifelong love for learning—helping each child grow not only academically, but as compassionate, curious, and empowered individuals.
