About the conference
A global melting pot for early childhood leaders
The REACH Reggio Emilia Conference is a highly anticipated international event — bringing together educators, school leaders, policymakers and early childhood advocates from Singapore, across Asia and around the world.
In a time marked by rapid technological change and growing social complexity, it invites a profound question: *what kind of future are we preparing children for?* Drawing on the educational experience of Reggio Emilia, the conference explores dialogue, documentation, relationships and participation as the foundations of democratic cultures of learning.
Speakers come directly from the preschools and infant-toddler centres of Reggio Emilia — the same schools named by *Time* magazine as the best in the world, and chosen by the Princess of Wales for a two-day visit in May 2026.

"An invitation to sit with the questions that matter most in your practice — around participation, creativity, documentation, and what it truly means to listen to children."

Speakers direct from Reggio Emilia
Learn from the educators the world is watching
Through presentations and dialogue with educators from the schools and infant-toddler centres of Reggio Emilia, you will explore how these ideas shift the way you design your environment, interact with children and approach documentation and planning every day.
Named the world's best preschools
Time magazine has long recognised the Reggio Emilia approach as among the finest early childhood education in the world.
Visited by the Princess of Wales, 2026
The Princess spent two days at the preschools of Reggio Emilia in May 2026, placing the approach firmly in the global conversation on early childhood education.
Decades of global influence
Not a fixed methodology, but a living philosophy that continues to inspire educators worldwide to think differently about children and learning.
REACH: official reference for Asia
As a member of the Reggio Children International Network, REACH is the official reference point for Reggio Children in Singapore and China.
