The Hundred Languages of Children
Carolyn Edwards, Lella Gandini, George Forman
What makes Reggio Emilia one of the world’s most celebrated models of early childhood education?
This book explores the innovative approach used in Reggio Emilia, Italy, where children’s well-being and intellectual growth are nurtured through the “hundred languages of children.” From birth to age six, children express themselves through speech, movement, art, music, and more, fostering creativity and symbolic thinking.
It also examines how the system has evolved in response to social and generational changes, highlighting teaching through relationships, the development of the hundred languages, and the use of documentation in learning.
