[quote=Anonymous]From what I know, creative curriculum has students work on a theme assigned by the curriculum (such as textiles) and then the teachers set up projects based on that theme (such has dress up with different texture clothes, washing baby clothes in soapy water, etc). Reggio is more interest-based. So if the class starts talking about spiders then the teachers start teaching them all about spiders. Reggio has a more nature-based approach. Also, there’s a lot of recording of information in Reggio—they take photos to document the process, and the strict Reggio teachers spend time each evening to record student observations and progress.

Ultimately I agree with finding a school that fits your needs—proximity to your house, fits your budget, and has teachers you feel comfortable leaving your child with. They will be prepared for kindergarten if they know how to sit and interact during circle time, if they know how to toilet properly on their own, if they can follow multi step directions. The actual curriculum isn’t as relevant. [/quote]
