What our organization offers:
Harbor City School is a non-profit independent preschool located in the heart of East Boston. Education is based on communication within teacher-teacher, child-child, teacher-child, parent-child, parent-teacher and parent-parent relationships. This creates a very rich learning environment for all those involved. In the Reggio Approach the teacher is a researcher and the school is seen as a place of research—a place of participation and shared construction of value and meaning.
The Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education views young children as individuals who are curious about their world and have the powerful potential to learn from all that surrounds them. Educational, psychological, and sociological influences are important factors to consider in understanding children and working to stimulate learning in appropriate ways. The Reggio Approach sees the child as protagonist, an active constructor of his or her own knowledge. The teacher is also seen as a protagonist who engages in the same processes with colleagues (co-teachers and others), making individual and collective interpretations.
