Educational Concept

The Upcycled section of the CRAFTS room is founded on the premise that working with repurposed materials opens up limitless potential that stimulates questioning, critical thinking and imagination. This concept was brought to Baltimore by our early childhood educators who travelled to Reggio Emilia Italy and learned about their Remida.
