Any help would be appriciated

Hi Zoe
Check out these links

http://www.deewr.gov.au/Earlychildhood/ ... eories.doc
for the second link - look at page 11
I would suspect you could put information about the environment having a big part to play and how this could impact on current EC programs, how parents would be co-teachers and how the activities would need to be open ended to see how far they could go.
I love Reggio Emilia approach, but working in a school (Kindy) I find it hard to balance this approach with educational outcomes set down by the schools.
Hope this info helps you though. Enjoy researching it
