Before joining the REACH Study Programme, I had no knowledge of early years education and was completely unfamiliar with the Reggio Emilia Approach. At first, I wondered if I was ready for this programme, but I soon realised that this was the right place to be. The Study Programme far exceeded my expectations, providing both inspiration and a sense of confidence in knowing where to begin. One of my aims has been to make children look forward to coming to school, and this Study Programme offered valuable insights and ideas to start on that journey. I also had the privilege of meeting many wonderful fellow course mates and facilitators who opened up new perspectives and opportunities for me. The experience allowed me to reconnect with my own sense of curiosity, to explore like a child, and to appreciate the endless possibilities in education.
