What is Innovations?

NAREA’s Journal

Innovations in Early Education: The International Reggio Emilia Exchange is the journal of NAREA. It is published three times annually. It was created in 1992 through an agreement between Loris Malaguzzi, founder of the Reggio Emilia Approach, and Eli Saltz, then-director of the Merrill-Palmer Institute, Wayne State University. NAREA became publisher in 2012.

Articles within Innovations include contributions from educators and other representatives from Reggio Emilia, North America, and global colleagues. There is an open call for submissions to the spring and summer issues. The fall issue is peer-reviewed with the call announced in June.
