Support is something we provide children as needed throughout the entirety of their day. Activities, or investigations are something you will help to facilitate, but it is up to the child to decide how to engage with the materials, while also determining how long they’ll explore. Because open-ended investigations are fostered, children can work at a rate that is comfortable and conducive to their particular approach to learning. Your role is to provide the materials, model language, and utilize open-ended questions to prompt higher level thinking – not only during investigations, but during all events throughout the day.
Not at all! While We Skoolhouse is an online platform, our use of technology is primarily meant to act as a channel of communication while supporting teachers or parents who want to facilitate early learning and better care at home or in the classroom. Understanding that children learn best through hands-on experiences, we emphasize and promote children moving their bodies and engaging in the natural world more than anything else.
“Children learn as they play. Most importantly, in play children learn how to Learn.” – O. Fred Donaldson, Ph.D. In order to know if a child is learning, we first have to understand how learning works. Learning naturally occurs when children are provided with ample time to explore their surrounding environment (including the people, places, and things), all while utilizing their senses to make connections and co-construct knowledge – we carve out plenty of time for this! Child-led play and meaningful, developmentally appropriate investigations spark children’s intrinsic motivation to engage with, investigate, discover, and learn about the world around them. We’re here to provide you with all the tools you need to maximize these everyday, yet purposeful experiences.
We Skoolhouse is a private program where the objective is to provide a developmentally appropriate curriculum, applying a Reggio Emilia approach, which will prepare your child for kindergarten. The Reggio Emilia philosophy relies on everyday interests, experiences, observations, and curiosities to guide learning. As expert educators, the team at We Skoolhouse is dedicated to ensuring your child is supported in the best way to inspire the child’s abilities and natural curiosities.

The Reggio Emilia approach and Montessori method are both phenomenal practices for progressive, child-centered learning and development. However, the details of the approaches are slightly different as Montessori tends to be more individualized compared to Reggio Emilia, which is more collaborative (including the families and communities within the children’s learning experiences). The Reggio Emilia curriculum is flexible and inspired by the interest of the children while also placing value on open-ended provocations (thoughtful arrangements of materials to provoke experimentation, creative thinking, and discovery), while Montessori incorporates very specific close-ended materials and toys that focuses on problem-solving and functionality.
We want to emphasize there is no “right” or “wrong” approach. While We Skoolhouse is more so-inspired by the Reggio Emila philosophy, we do pull from Montessori, Waldorf, and other models as well. We can say with confidence that early learning is never a one-size-fits-all; therefore, it is important to be open-minded and flexible when considering our children’s learning experiences to provide the most relevant, engaging, and meaningful experiences possible.
At We Skoolhouse, we firmly believe in cultivating a learning environment that sparks curiosity, creativity, and genuine engagement. Therefore, we consciously refrain from using worksheets and crafts in our curriculum. Worksheets often isolate concepts, presenting information in a fragmented manner, hindering children’s holistic understanding of the subject. The mundane nature of worksheets may lead to disinterest and disengagement, limiting the joy of learning. Similarly, crafts that emphasize predetermined outcomes focus on the end product rather than the process of exploration and discovery. This one-size-fits-all approach may not align with children’s unique interests and developmental stages, impeding their individual growth and creativity. By avoiding these practices, we prioritize developmentally appropriate, open-ended experiences that encourage critical thinking, problem-solving, and self-expression, fostering a lifelong love for learning and a deep appreciation for the journey of discovery.

Because learning doesn’t come from a box. It comes from children.
We Skoolhouse does provide a structured, ready-to-follow curriculum. The difference is where the structure lives. Our structure is built into the flow of learning, guiding prompts, developmental progression, and teacher support, not into pre-packaged crafts, charts, or printables.
Instead of telling teachers what children should make, we support educators in creating intentional environments and provocations that invite thinking, movement, collaboration, and exploration using flexible, everyday materials.
This approach allows teachers to:
Follow a clear daily rhythm while remaining responsive to children
Adapt experiences based on real interests and developmental needs
Offer open-ended learning that grows in complexity over time
Revisit ideas through repetition instead of rushing through themes
Spend less time managing materials and more time engaging with children
When learning is driven by exploration and connection, children show deeper engagement, stronger problem-solving skills, more communication, and greater ownership of their learning.
We believe curriculum should guide educators, support development, and protect curiosity. Learning does not arrive in a box. It unfolds through relationships, play, and meaningful experiences.
Unlike traditional per-classroom curriculum models, We Skoolhouse integrates curriculum, planning tools, and professional development into one cohesive system. Here's how that compares:
