Philosophy

We find inspiration and expand in the principles of Reggio Emilia Philosophy

​​At Big and Tiny, our core values are rooted in fostering a diverse community of curious minds. We believe that learning should be a dynamic and transformative experience, where children are not just passive recipients of knowledge but active participants in their own learning journey.

​

Our approach is built around four key pillars:

At Big and Tiny, we view the role of the student as an active contributor to the learning process.

 

Children are encouraged to explore problems, ideas, and solutions, turning their learning experience into a collaborative journey.

 

Voice and choice are central to this process, empowering students to shape both the learning environment and outcomes alongside their teachers.

Student-Centered Learning

Philosophy
Diversity

Diversity & Inclusion

We believe that exposure to diverse perspectives is crucial for developing a compassionate, open-minded worldview.

 

By honoring the unique individuality of each child, we nurture respect for others, the community, and the environment.

 

Our curriculum integrates stories and lessons from a wide range of cultures, races, ethnicities, and languages, fostering an appreciation for diversity and encouraging global awareness.
 

Community-Oriented
Education

At Big and Tiny, we see parents as essential partners in their child’s educational journey.

 

Our goal is to bridge the gap between school and home, creating a welcoming and supportive space where families are not only involved but celebrated.

 

We strive to build meaningful connections and ensure that parents feel appreciated, valued, and integral to their child’s development.

Environment

Cognitive Development

Environment and Social Responsability

We are committed to cultivating environmentally conscious citizens of the future.

 

Our curriculum promotes sustainability through community-focused learning, and the materials in our classrooms are carefully selected to reflect this commitment.

 

Thoughtfully problem-solving, chosen toys and resources encourage creativity and exploration, while minimizing overstimulation in today’s fast-paced world.

At Big and Tiny, we aim to provide an educational experience that not only nurtures children’s intellectual growth but also their emotional, social, and ethical development.
