Reggio Emilia's
pioneering effort in preschool education has been widely replicated
throughout Italy, where almost 90% of nation's children aged 3-6
enroll in national, municipal, private preschools. These preschools
are unlike any in the United States. There are no building principals
or school boards. America must invest more time, money, and parent
energy in preschool education. (MLH)
