The Hundred Languages of Children Exhibition, which toured the UK during 2000, inspired many early years practitioners to discover more about the work of the infant-toddler centres and the pre-schools of Reggio Emilia in northern Italy.

This book is a compilation of the reflections of 13 participants, including early years educators, academics and parents, on a UK study tour to Reggio Emilia in April 1999.

It covers the key issues which face early years educators in the UK today - early years philosophy and pedagogy, the value of play, children with special needs, staff development and working with parents.
