In this 2-part webinar series, we aim to explore different preschool curriculums and provide parents with some guidance in your search for the best preschool for your child. 

Webinar #1:
Montessori, Reggio Emilia or Enquiry-Based Learning curriculums? When choosing a preschool, parents sometimes struggle to decide on the best learning philosophy to embrace for your child’s important formative years. Should it be Montessori, with its long and solid history, including producing some top personalities like Mark Zuckerberg? Or does the vote go to Reggio Emilia, with its strong emphasis on child-centred learning, and which has also stood the test of time? How about more recent Enquiry-Based Learning philosophies, widely adopted not only in preschools but also many primary and secondary schools? The decision is surely not an easy one! 

Join us at this webinar as we explore these preschool philosophies through the lens of modern brain science. How do learning philosophies like Montessori and Reggio Emilia, which have been around for about 100 years, stand up to modern neuroscience findings? And even for more recent enquiry-based learning philosophies, are they also aligned with what we now know about how the brain learns? We will attempt to shed light on these important questions and provide some guidance for parents in search of the best preschool philosophy for your child.

Attend this webinar to:   

• Gain an overview of the Montessori, Reggio Emilia and Enquiry-Based Learning philosophies 
• Understand how these philosophies measure up to modern neuroscience findings
• Learn what are some of the most important considerations parents should have when choosing a preschool for your child
