CHILDREN'S LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT
At Bambini, we recognise that all children are confident and capable learners. We encourage children to take charge of their own learning journeys and advocate for their development.
Each child is unique, and we prioritise their emotional and social well-being by providing an inclusive environment that embraces diverse learning styles and supports children with additional needs.
Our educational program, grounded in 21st-century practices and underpinned by the Reggio Emilia approach, embraces the 100 languages of children, encouraging curiosity, awe, and active citizenship.
Loris Malaguzzi was the founder of the Reggio Emilia educational philosophy.
Bambini is inspired by the Reggio Emilia Approach
Reggio Emilia is a small town located in Northern Italy, where the beginnings of an inspirational education program was launched over 50 years ago, and continues today.
The Reggio Emilia approach is internationally known for its influences on the education and care of all children.
This learning has become a source of motivation for educators within the industry, to promote children’s development through experiences, which engages them to explore, discover, inspire, prompting young minds in their imagination, and challenging their thinking.
The Reggio Emilia Approach provokes a richness of learning in an environment that scaffolds children’s learning in play spaces to make their learning visible.
Loris Malaguzzi was the founder of the Reggio Emilia educational philosophy. In 1963, he began working with the cities administration on opening the first municipal schools. He had a vision to inspire young children, for lifelong learning.
Loris Malaguzzi wrote the inspiration the hundred languages poem that we connect with so much here at Bambini.
SOCIAL AWARENESS
We believe that ingraining a sense of community, connections and empathy are all key to raising socially aware young citizens of the world.
INVOLVEMENT IN OUR COMMUNITY
Our approach to giving back is quite simple, we know that we have the people power and energy to help others, so we do just that.
We embrace the uninhibited children’s imagination and curiosity that lead us to new opportunities in our local and global community we can support.
Giving the children power to come up with their own ways to engage and give back, builds a sense of leadership, empowerment and empathy alongside the ownership they have of completing these projects.

EMPOWERING SOCIALLY AWARE CHILDREN
Learning about the individual stories and roles of members of our community drives many questions and conversations amongst children.
We embrace the chance to engage ourselves in our community and collaborate with charities and local groups. Young children are in a stage of rapid development and are able to absorb mountains of new knowledge that interests them.
We branch into our community to provoke new learning opportunities as well as building knowledge about new people, animals and groups that require support.
