Give your child endless opportunities to flourish, and empower them to positively change the world. Why is the Reggio Emilia Approach so amazing? Watch this quick video to learn more about the inspiration behind our innovative approach to early childhood education.
By treating children as competent researchers, educators can provide more complex, open-ended problems and projects that stretch children's thinking and problem-solving skills. This challenges children to think critically, develop hypotheses, test ideas, and draw conclusions - all essential skills for lifelong learning.
This view encourages educators to listen to and value children's thoughts and theories, leading to a more participatory and engaging educational experience. Seeing children as capable sets high expectations for their learning, which often results in children rising to meet these expectations and becoming more independent and self-directed learners.
Children blossom and grow when they experience positive, caring relationships with their teachers. The Reggio Emilia Approach encourages and supports student achievement in all developmental areas.
Children learn as much from their environment as they do from the caring adults in their lives. Our distinctive classrooms and shared spaces are designed with safety in mind and matched to various stages of your child’s development and growth.
When children connect experiences outside of school to their experiences in the classroom, they become confident learners. Our Reggio Emilia-inspired approach will enhance your child's learning and boost their confidence.
KLA Schools of Wallingford recognizes the critical role parents play in their children's education and development. By partnering with parents, KLA Schools of Wallingford creates a cohesive and supportive environment that bridges the child's experiences at home and school. This collaboration allows for a more holistic approach to education, where the child's learning is reinforced and extended across different contexts.
Collaborating with parents also enables educators to gain valuable insights into each child's unique needs, interests, and background, leading to more personalized and effective teaching strategies. Moreover, involving parents in the educational process fosters a sense of community and shared responsibility, which can enhance the child's sense of security and motivation to learn.
This partnership also empowers parents, giving you the tools and knowledge to support your child's learning at home, creating a continuous and enriching educational experience that extends beyond the classroom walls. This strong home-school connection leads to better outcomes for children, both academically and in their overall development.

Your child will discover real-world applications for their lessons in our innovative programs. We cultivate an adaptable learning environment that nurtures inquisitiveness, promotes experiential education, emphasizes group collaboration, and hones analytical capabilities.
High-quality programs often maintain lower ratios to ensure more individual attention and better supervision. When choosing a program, consider not just the ratio but also the group size, as smaller groups generally allow for more individualized attention and can be easier for teachers to manage effectively.
KLA Schools has been recognized as the top provider of Employment, Education and Child Care Services in Newsweek's America's Best Customer Service Companies List for 2023. We're proud that our dedication to nurturing young minds and supporting families has earned us this national recognition.
A high-quality early childhood education in Wallingford can have significant benefits for a child's development and future academic success at any age.
Early childhood education can begin as early as infancy, and the most common age to start is around 2-3 years old. The appropriate age can vary depending on the child's development and family circumstances.
Some children benefit from earlier socialization and structured learning environments, while others may do well starting a bit later. It's important to consider your child's individual needs, temperament, and readiness when deciding on the right time to start.
