Our Philosophy

Fortune Preschool is from the creators of Fortune School, a PK-12 network of public charter schools focused on closing the African American achievement gap. Fortune Preschool is inﬂuenced by the schools in Reggio Emilia, Italy. The approach focuses on how children learn, their relationship to the world around them, and the joy children experience from learning.

Foundations of the Reggio Emilia Approach

The image of the child
The child’s relationships and interactions within a system
The role of parents
The third teacher, the environment
Teachers and children are partners in learning
The power of documentation
