About
Reggio Children Study Groups
Reggio Children, a public/private company, collaborates with different organizations to design and develop study groups to Reggio Emilia, Italy. Study groups to Reggio Emilia provide participants a personal experience with the city that created the world-renowned public system of infant-toddler centers and preschools. Visitors will not only be immersed in the daily life of the city but will listen directly to educators currently working inside the infant-toddler centers and preschools. Each study group is unique, designed to follow a particular thread or group. Please note that some North American study groups are registered directly by Reggio Children, while others are registered by NAREA or International Study Tours, LLC.
