An innovative educator and one of the founders of the Reggio Emilia Approach.
He was an Italian educator and the driving force behind the development of the Reggio Emilia Approach to early childhood education. He believed in the potential of children and advocated for a child-centered approach to learning. Along with a group of passionate individuals, he established the first Reggio Emilia preschool in 1963. Malaguzzi emphasised the importance of strong relationships, community involvement, and artistic expression in children’s education. His ideas continue to influence educators and shape early childhood education globally.
The Loris Malaguzzi Centre in Reggio Emilia is a tribute to the influential educator, Loris Malaguzzi, who played a key role in the development of the Reggio Emilia Approach to early childhood education. This centre upholds the values and principles of the Approach, focusing on the importance of the child as an active participant in their own learning and the role of the environment in promoting creativity and exploration. The centre is dedicated to providing a supportive and enriching environment for children, educators, and families to learn and grow together.
