Reggio Emilia Aotearoa Christchurch
REACH is the network group for the Canterbury area.
We are a group of educators from the Early Childhood, Primary and Tertiary sectors based in Christchurch New Zealand. We are affiliated with REANZ and are interested in exploring the use of Reggio Inspired approaches to develop rich learning contexts with our students. We meet regularly to discuss our approaches to emergent curriculum and the documentation of project work, to share readings and to organise professional development events for the wider educational community.
Currently we have the following members in our team:
Lia de Vocht, fellow senior lecturer in early childhood at the University of Canterbury, Letisha Seelen, manager Woolston Community Childcare, Lindi Newth, primary teacher at Bromley school, Karen Turnock, lecturer in early childhood at the University of Canterbury, Sarah McIlroy, early childhood teacher, currently on maternity leave.
