We offer a Reggio-Inspired program, a preschool system developed in Reggio Emilia, Italy. This unique pedagogy brings teachers who are committed to maximizing each child’s learning potential. Together teachers, children and parents create a school community where everyone contributes to the learning experience.
At RIA, we recognize and promote the potential of all children by providing them with a unique learning environment that supports and encourages each child’s social, emotional, cognitive and physical development.
Special areas and learning materials which promote creative growth and development
Focusing on topics in stages – from observation, documentation, collaboration, discussion, reflection and exploration.
It is our goal that children will possess confidence in their abilities, and establish lasting relationships.
A key component is dialogue; serious talk with children about each of their ideas on something of importance. Topics are not predetermined to last a limited time as with themes in a traditional classroom; rather they take on a momentum which is navigated by children in a small or large group with teachers working alongside helping by recording, recognizing and helping to identify which step to take next. The goal each time is to explore children’s ideas.
The teacher’s role in a Reggio Program is to ask effective, open-ended questions that stimulate children’s thinking, expand vocabulary and provoke discussion – to facilitate, orchestrate and gently guide so that the conversation remains focused on the subject and sees that each child is given the opportunity to participate, for them to consider the matter at hand with all their creative and critical thinking skills. The teacher does not predetermine the answers or impart information, there are no lectures. Rather, the Reggio teacher’s role is to highlight, extend and deepen the children’s thinking.
The motivation for centering our curriculum on conversation is in order to activate the development of a child’s ability to have creative and critical thought to its full potential, to promote cooperation, interaction and negotiation; and to celebrate children’s natural curiosity about the world and how it works. Great value is placed on taking time together to focus on important aspects of life and living; to examine an experience, object or idea closely and to wonder and explore together.
Tuition may be paid either annually or quarterly. Please contact our Admissions Officer for information on pricing. – reggio.ria0087@gmail.com

Through exploration of a wide range of art works, styles and techniques, children learn how to observe and translate their thoughts into the 100 languages. This allows your child to listen and respond to multiple perspectives.
An innovative program that teaches children to love physical activity, develop motor and co-ordination skills and stresses the importance of being healthy. Dancing, Yoga, Martial Arts and sport skills are taught.
Music ignites all areas of the child’s development and skills for school readiness: Intellectual, social and emotional, fine/gross motor, language and overall literacy. It helps the body and mind to work together, allowing your child to learn and practice self-expression.
Rapid growth occurs in the language centres of the brain during the early childhood years. To support this growth and development, your child will be taught English as part of the curriculum.
Early childhood educators have a powerful ‘window of opportunity’ to play an active and significant role’ in assisting young children and families to understand sustainability issues, concepts and practices. Your child will further develop their awareness of their impact on the environment and ways to minimise it.
