Our Reggio-Inspired Learning Environment
The Reggio Emilia educational philosophy guides everything we do. We see children as strong and capable, full of potential and curiosity, and we honor them as learners and citizens. Our school encourages discovery, problem-solving, social interaction, creative expression, and an appreciation for nature.
Relationships are essential at Weaver CDC, with strong collaboration between children, parents, and teachers. Our school is a place for sharing ideas, reflecting local culture, and encouraging dialogue. Our environment is designed to be welcoming and stimulating for exploration and learning.
Learning at Weaver CDC is project-based, inspired by the interests and experiences of the children. Projects can start from an event, idea, problem, question, or teacher’s suggestion. We use documentation to make learning visible, capturing children’s discussions, activities, and creations to guide project direction.
Weaver CDC teachers are part of a committed learning community. They engage in ongoing professional development, regular meetings to discuss curriculum, Reggio books, articles, etc., and daily discussions about their observations. Our entire staff is dedicated to continuous learning and growth.
The Weaver Child Development Center is the only Reggio-inspired Preschool & Primary school in the area, and one of only a handful in the state of Ohio.
