Classrooms
OUR CLASSROOMS
Each classroom at the CDL is thoughtfully designed to enrich children’s early learning experiences, with play at the heart of every opportunity. Inspired by Reggio Emilia principles, spaces feature natural materials, distinct learning areas, and reflections of children’s ongoing projects. Materials are rotated to follow children’s interests and support development. By treating the classroom as a “third teacher,” educators create environments that spark curiosity, encourage independence, and inspire collaboration.
