Children do not wait for our permission to think. Indeed, children are bursting with ideas that are always impatient to escape through language (and we say a hundred languages) to connect and communicate with the things of the world. — Loris Malaguzzi, Founder of Reggio Emilia Approach

Learning As Design: Children As Builders Of Meaning

Children learn much like engineers and coders; they gather information, build mental models, test their ideas against experiences, and revise those ideas when something does not fit. This process of theory building and repair, reflects the natural architecture of cognition. As children interact with their environment, they encode patterns, make predictions, encounter errors, and adjust their thinking accordingly. Learning, is not passive absorption but an active, iterative design process in which young minds construct, refine, and strengthen understanding over time.
