Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Micah's preschool aligns with the Reggio Emilia approach, which emphasizes child-centered learning, creative expression, and individual interests. The low child/adult ratio and opportunity for long-term projects also support this approach. Montessori and Head Start both have structured learning environments and may not provide as much creative expression or individual choice. Teacher-directed approaches prioritize the teacher's guidance and instruction rather than the child's interests and motivations.
