Community Helpers: Reading List

Our Reggio Emilia-inspired curriculum, Creatively Shine™, consists of fun, engaging monthly themes like “All About Me” and “Safety.”

The theme for September is Community Helpers.

As a Reggio Emilia school, we must ensure selections are age-appropriate, ask questions before, after and during the book. Encourage your children to play/act out the plot. Bring the books to life and make reading fun.
