influenced by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, emphasizing exploration, creativity, and discovery. Each child has a portfolio documenting work samples, projects, reflections, pictures, and assessments to support communication with families. The Exploration Station also offers parenting classes, CPR and first aid classes, and access to infant care supplies through its Moving Mountains program to support families’ broader needs.
