Welcome to the Reggio-Inspired Network of Minnesota, a broad gathering of educators and citizens from Minnesota and nearby regions, who work in a variety of schools and civic organizations around issues of education and democracy. Inspired by the innovative preschools and infant-toddler centers in Reggio Emilia, Italy, Network participants look closely at the Reggio approach as well as examine and discuss our local experiences. Here you will find information, inspiration and resources.

Self-Portrait Work with Children



Creating self-portraits helps young children explore identity, practice self-expression, and expand their perspectives. At this gathering, educators will observe, discuss, and experiment with a variety of materials and approaches that support children to make self-portraits, including the use of children's literature to spark deeper conversations.

The morning will include a tour of All Seasons Preschool of Eagan, an intergenerational preschool housed inside Lexington Pointe Senior Living residence. Living as "neighbors" in the same building facilitates the development of caring relationships between the children and the "grandmas and grandpas" who live there. All Seasons is a nature-based and arts-focused preschool that serves children ages 2 through 5 years.

Presenters: Joanne Esser, Director, and All Seasons Preschool staff
