This trusting space is where child-led threads of emergent curriculum will be followed with thoughtful intention. Panorama Early Childhood aligns with the Reggio Emilia approach founded on the 100 languages of childhood, based on a poem ‘No Way. The Hundred is There’ expressing the dynamic ways through which children interact with the world around them. In keeping with this sensorial rhythm of childhood, Panorama’s daily routines are designed for the ever-evolving way of young children; adaptable and malleable to meet their needs within a consistent framework. Inspired by the Bank Street developmental-interaction approach that children thrive when actively engaged with materials, ideas and people, Panorama also embraces Bank Street’s philosophy that a diverse and nurturing environment is instrumental in fostering social, emotional and cognitive development. Your support will help us advance the quality of every child's one childhood.
Together, we are empowering exceptional education.
