Comparing EYFS and Reggio Emilia

[Sally69]

Hi all,

I'm feeling completely brain dead and don't know where to start on my latest assignment!

I am to compare certain aspects of the EYFS and Reggio, but my working knowledge of the EYFS is limited (finally start childminding on Tuesday :) ) and my knowledge of Reggio is also limited. Does anyone know of any major similarities / differences so at least I know where to start.

Thank you

You might find this document useful - the 2 approaches complement each other quite well with a few compromises along the way :D
