The philosophy from Reggio Emilia offers many principles that can assist us in fostering a learning environment that is beautiful, responsive, interactive, and reflective of all who share a classroom.  Combining this with some basic principles of interior design, such as colour texture, lighting and furniture layout, can make for endless possibilities for inspiring spaces. Imagine creating intentional environments that have engaging materials to be explored, skillful narrations of the children’s thoughts and processes, and thoughtful learning spaces to support relationships, active investigation, and different learning styles.
