Istituzione

Since October 2003, early childhood services in the municipality of Reggio Emilia have been run through a specific body called, Istituzione. This managing body has autonomy in educational, pedagogical, and administrative issues, its own budget and its own mayor-nominated staff. Objectives of Istituzione include organizing, managing, and increasing activities necessary for the functioning and qualification of infant-toddler centers and preschools in the municipality of Reggio Emilia. Istituzione is intended not simply as an organ of effective management, but exists to safeguard and renew qualities and values in Reggio Emilia educational services.
