New Reggio Group in WA
Early Learning Fremantle has been set up to connect teachers, parents and others interested in early learning (0-8 years).
We have a special interest in the preschools and infant toddler centres of Reggio Emilia, Montessori & Steiner education models and other progressive, emerging approaches.
The group’s email discussion list and meetings provide a unique chance for educators near and far to compare, contrast and evolve these approaches in a practical, hands-on way.
We are touring each others classrooms, attending professional development sessions together, talking, supporting, challenging, encouraging and inspiring each other towards the best possible outcomes for children, parents, ourselves and our communities.
We are based in Fremantle but group members are coming to meetings from all over the metro area. Current membership includes state school teachers, independent teachers (inc. Lance Holt School), Steiner teachers, Montessori teachers, parents and students. All share an interest in Reggio practice and each other’s evolving thinking and practice around the important early years.
It is a small, informal and friendly group.
New members are welcome and we particularly encourage childcare workers/teachers to join in. Meeting times can be changed to make this easier. We currently meet every second Monday 4-6pm (or later) at Little Creatures in Fremantle.
Call ahead before attending to Libby Davy on 0419 943 989 or Angela Drum on 0423 172 436 for more information. The best way to find out what is happening is to subscribe.
