For parents, choosing a preschool for their child has never been a simple task. Each family has its own criteria, but we all know that the educational approach is the core of early childhood education.

At SSK, we understand that love is the foundation for a happy child and a complete personality. For children, there are a hundred ways of thinking, communicating, understanding, and loving. Children have limitless creative potential, and it is our responsibility as adults to create an environment where they can freely express themselves in their own unique languages. In this process, each child not only communicates with society but also recreates the world with their imaginative thinking. They come to understand themselves, and we adults come to understand them. This is the foundation for nurturing and enabling children to develop their potential. It is also the core of the Reggio Emilia approach that SSK applies.

As Loris Malaguzzi, the Italian pedagogical master and founder of the Reggio Emilia philosophy and educational approach, shared: "Our task is to help children climb their own mountains, as high as possible, on their own two feet. No one can do more." This is precisely the mission that the staff at SSK have been and are committed to carrying out.

The fundamental principles of the Reggio Emilia Approach:

- The child as the protagonist.

- The child as a collaborator.

- The child as a communicator.

- The environment as the third teacher.

- The teacher as a partner, nurturer, and guide.

- The teacher as a researcher.

- Documentation as a channel of communication.

- Parents as partners.

The benefits that the Reggio Emilia approach brings to children at SSK:

- Stimulates children's curiosity and observation skills.

- Helps children explore the world around them, thereby fostering a love for inquiry and learning.

- Helps children develop their imagination and creativity through activities such as drawing, sculpting, and creating art.

- Develops children's ability to cooperate and work in teams.

- Helps children learn to love and protect nature.
