Regio Centurion Private School Pre-School is located in Centurion. We started the Regio Centurion Onafhanklike Skool (Independent School) on 11 January 2006.

The philosophy behind Regio school is based on Loris Malaguzzi’s belief and Howard’s theory of multiple intelligences. This is a school where every child is considered to be gifted. What we as parents and teachers must do is to discover every child’s special talent and create opportunities for all the children to develop their special talents.

There is much about Reggio Emilia Approach to child care and education that distinguishes it from other efforts both inside and outside of Italy, and attracts worldwide attention. Of special interest is the emphasis on children’s symbolic languages in the context of a project-oriented curriculum. This feature has been well-documented in two traveling exhibitions. The Reggio Emilia approach is made possible through a carefully articulated and collaborative approach to the care and education of young children.

In the USA particularly, the experiences of the city of Reggio Emilia have been reified into the “Reggio Emilia Approach”, a new curriculum model of excellence, which heavily reinforces existing instrumental developmentalist discourses of education. This ‘branding’ of Reggio Emilia, obscures the postmodern accent in the dialogues that the pedagogues of Reggio Emilia have attempted to establish. Critiques of the US ‘Reggio Approach’ which have targeted attempts to establish normative Reggio ‘curricula’ have largely been ignored. The work in Sweden by Gunilla Dahlberg, and her UK colleague, Peter Moss, provide unsettling counterpoints to the monolithic arguments of the proponents of the ‘Reggio Approach’.
