Our Reggio-Emilia inspired infant programme at Wilkinson and Fourth Avenue campuses emphasises on language, movement and relationships during the sensitive ages of 0 to 3. We believe that infants who are nurtured in a conducive and encouraging environment have the ability to hone their sensory-motor development, cognition, language and social-emotional competencies. Missing this sensitive period of learning could result in a more difficult and less successful time picking up these skills later in life.

This emphasis embodies the importance of responding to babies’ verbal cues and actions, encouraging their efforts to move and explore the sight, sounds, taste, smell and touch, rather than restricting or interfering with these biological processes.
