The California International Reggio Center (CIRC) opened at La Scuola International School in San Francisco, CA in collaboration with long-time partner The Innovative Teacher Project (ITP) led by Dr. Susan Lyon and with participation from Reggio Children, an international center for the defense and promotion of children's rights.

Welcoming educators from across the globe to deepen their understanding of the Reggio Emilia Approach®, CIRC leads professional development and training for those at the heart of the learning experience. The Reggio Emilia Approach® is an educational philosophy based on holding a high image of the child as having a strong potential for development and being a subject with right, who learns through the hundred languages belonging to all human beings, and grows in relationship to others.

Teachers, pedagogistas, atelieristas, administrators, and parents join to expand their knowledge and Reggio Emilia-inspired practice, bringing their learnings into action inside and outside the classroom. Here is a video broadcast on TeleReggio, taken on the day of our official launch and ribbon cutting ceremony, November 6, 2023, at our Mission campus in San Francisco.

Sessions will be offered in person and online via conferences, seminars, workshops, roundtables, and on-site visits to our beautiful campuses. We look forward to connecting with you soon!
