There is growing consensus around a National Institute for Early Education Research study which concluded that increasing public investment in effective preschool education can produce substantial educational, social, and economic benefits, especially for the economically disadvantaged. Currently, there are over 87 thousand children under the age of 5 in Hawai’i, and as the state moves to support early childhood education, some wonder what that education should be like. HPR’s Noe Tanigawa offers this look at the Reggio Emilia educational approach.
“The Wonder of Learning”, a multimedia exhibit about the Reggio Emilia approach to education, is on view at the UH West Oahu Library through December 7th. Be sure to view all three parts of the exhibit.
