2024-2025
A Year Of Learning Together
"A study group committed to elevating professional discourse through research and collaboration."
from the DCREA Vision
OCTOBER 2024
This year we are fulfilling our mission by researching and learning together as we work our way through a curated collection of written works, videos and other offerings by guest speakers. We intend to hold discussions and hands on explorations; with the goal of applying new insights to our practices.
We want to highlight the beginnings and roots of our work with young children; the reading material will encourage reflection and dialogue, and enrich our understanding of our work with all ages.
For our first meeting, we will be watching "The Day in the Life of the Infant/Toddler Center" followed by a discussion.

WELCOME TO OUR
2024-2025 SEASON
Dear DCREA Members,
The DC Reggio Emilia Alliance (DCREA) Steering Committee is pleased to welcome returning and new members for our 14th year. We are excited to launch our new year by focusing on one of our foundational goals – elevating professional discourse – by studying a collection of curated texts, videos, and other offerings by guest speakers. We will address philosophy, documentation techniques, and environment- and materials-introduction and selection, with a particular focus on our youngest children. We want to highlight the beginnings and roots of our work with young children; the reading material will encourage reflection and dialogue, and enrich our understanding of our work with all ages.
In light of our ever-growing group, we are seeking ways to share common ground rooted in a variety of articles, chapters, and other readings that will support all members no matter what stage they are on in their journey. We will provide those resources each month before our meetings, and we will come together to engage in group discussions (both large and small), participate in classroom tours, and explore avenues for further study, including podcasts and videos.
Our first meeting is Tuesday, October 15, 2024 from 6:30 - 8:00 pm at St. John’s Preschool in Georgetown. A school tour will be offered from 6:30 - 7:00, and our meeting will begin promptly at 7pm. We will be watching “The Day in the Life of the Infant/Toddler Center,” followed by discussion.
Second Meeting: Wednesday, December 4, 2024. Location TBD.
Our third, fourth, and fifth meetings will be held at a central location in January, February, and March with the potential for one Zoom offering.
Our final meeting of the year will be in April or May. We are grateful for your continued dedication to children and DCREA, and we are really looking forward to a fantastic year of studying and growing together.
Warmly,
DCREA Steering Committee
