I always knew if our DD's were to go to an institutionalised school that it would a RE school. Years ago I joined a RE mailing list for ideas on incorporating it into our home and through there found out that one of our local private schools is an RE school. I was pretty excited because i...
What are these things? (Reggio Emilia, Sudbury, Democratic)...
I'd like to check out this school, but the website isn't ready yet. Anyone know anything about it?We are Berkeley bicyclists, so at the moment I'm specifically interested in BART or bus access... but I'd also like to know how long it's been there, etc....
Older as in "non-preschool." I don't get it. :scratch...
Is there a link? I googled it, but can't seem to find a comprehensive list. Anyone have a link? Thanks! I am located in Northern Westchester NY if that helps any....
http://www.wingraschool.org/It seems ideal from what I've read on the website. It doesn't appear to call itself any type of school - freedom, democratic. Has anyone had experience with this kind of school? I would just like some positive and negative ideas about what this school mig...
I just found a pre-school/child care with a Reggio inspired curriculum. I think it is more of home run childcare center. What kind of training would qualify the care provider/teacher? This would be for my two year old son, so a standard curriculum is not too concerning for me just yet. But I...
Hi Mamas, We love our Waldorf playgroup but have been told that we might also like Reggio Emilia education too. All I know is it started in Italy and places value the physical space children are in, as I do too. She's still young and I want to make educated decisions regarding the path we...
There is one here in town that I'd like to consider for ds (provided it's still around when he's school-age :lol). I looked it up on the internet...wikipedia, but I'm still somewhat in the dark about what exactly a "free school" is. Is it the same as a democratic school? A...
Wow, I was so impressed and relieved at the same time. I had lots of concerns like safety, parental involvement, video game playing, etc, etc, etc. DH and I spent 1.5hrs talking with several parents who have children there and they answered every question we had. I don't have time to wri...
I am full of concern, and I have found it helpfull to look to others who may have experienced similar situations. My 2nd child Lily Flower is 4. She began a Regio Amellia program when she was a young 3 yr old. I can't tell you how PERFECT this was for her! She is my spirited soul, and need...

I was introducted to a great way of educating our children at home - by way of a book called " Teaching A Generation of Leaders, A Thomas Jefferson Education, For the Twenty-First Century" by Oliver Van DeMille.Great book, short easy read, & finally helped me understand why I was so dissatisfied...
My dd did not get accepted in this Reggio inspired preschool that I want her to go to. It's basically a superb school here in the Presidio with the best teachers, complete respect for the kids and lots of raoming space and creative energy. I somehow can't imagine anything else for her...
