The Little School’s Four Big
Ideas
 Introduction
The Little
School’s driving forces are born from a variety of sources
and experiences. It is a constantly evolving process that is
filled with discovery of new ideas, discussion and
discourse, reading and research, and an approach that values
openness and learning, with a shared goal of growth for both
teachers and children.
The Little School today is the
result of a five-year evolution that began with a mission to
integrate components of the Reggio Emilia approach into our
school. Reading and observing how this approach deepened our
understanding of children, we were propelled in many
different directions to learn more and progress our
knowledge and experience to support these guiding
principles.
Following is a snapshot of the ideas and
perspectives that influence how we interact with the
children on a daily basis. To really know The Little School,
one has to be immersed in it for some time, living in the
moments, and reflecting with us as we grow. However, the
following articles and pages will provide a foundation for a
common language and understanding.
These “Four Big
Ideas” carry with them many of the same themes – among them
community, growth, choice, beauty, understanding, intent.
They share these themes while also expanding perspectives in
other areas. While each of these big ideas could stand
alone, taken together, they grow and combine to create a
broad framework for who we are as a school.
