Buckle My Shoe believes in the Reggio Approach. They believe that every child brings with them deep curiosity and potential and this innate curiosity drives their interest to understand their world and their place within it. The 'Reggio' version of the child as competent learner has produced a strong child-directed curriculum model. The curriculum has purposive progression but not scope and sequence. Teachers follow the children's interests and do not provide focused instruction in reading and writing. Reggio approach has a strong belief that children learn through interaction with others, including parents, educators and peers in a friendly learning environment.
