The San Diego Reggio Roundtable is a group of educators and parents who are interested in and inspired by the ideas and concepts found in the early childhood programs in Reggio Emilia, Italy. The inspiration found in these programs encourages us to provide a place for teachers and parents to dialogue about the importance of childhood and the possibilities for education.
