I made a panel of photos that highlighted the recycled toys that we use in our classroom. The infants were black and white and the item was color. I included the quote, "The most effective kind of education is that a child should play amongst lovely things" ~Plato. I think people often times don't see that the lovely things are all around them!

"One has to respect the time of maturation; of development; of the tools of doing and understanding; of the full, slow, extravagant, lucid and ever-changing emergence of children's capacities, it is the measure of cultural and biological wisdom." (Malaguzzi, 1998, p80) in 100 Languages Advanced Reflections

"Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect." - Loris Malaguzzi
