Tells the story of the Model Early Learning Center (MELC) in Washington, DC - a school to successfully implement the principles of the Municipal Preschools of Reggio Emilia. The author describes the origin of this school, which served urban families, and traces its evolution from a chaotic inception to its ability to apply Reggio practices.

Draws on knowledge and experience with the Reggio Approach to present 12 `best practices' inspired not only by Reggio, but also by play-based and Montessori approaches to early childhood education. These practices are demonstrated with scenarios from classrooms, dialogues of children and teachers, and work samples showing the outcome of using each practice.
