Supporting and specializing in school interiors, exteriors,

Studio spaces and environments promote and invite curiosity, investigations,  knowledge and creativity. They are beautiful spaces that generate the "100 Languages" of thinking and learning suggesting questions and generating evocations;  are enacted. From the municipal infant-toddler centres and preschools of Reggio Emilia  is where they were first introduced. https://www.reggiochildren.it/en/ 

At Acorn Collaborative, we  are inspired and continue to learn from the educators and preschools of Reggio Emilia since 1994. Our continued learning and research is to work alongside others and to learn from each other. 

To continue to work with you, we invite your questions, thinking and your vision and values to support you through your work. 

We help design and build spaces that engage children, educators, and the community to experience and explore the possibilities of being together in innovative spaces both indoors and outdoors. 

We can offer off site training and consulting at a site. These are specialized sessions that are customized by prior conversation and going through some details of your vision and values. When we listen closely to others we can be more helpful to supporting and engaging in learning opportunities. 

I work closely with educators, supervisors, administration on professional learning journey visiting classrooms and programs to get to support and engage in innovative program implementation that listens closely to all who are part of the programs. Together, we can work changes, deepen inquiries and research  in projects. For more information, please contact me for an email or phone consult. 

Acorn also provides private groups in the Studio Space offering up to 12 spots.

As a school teacher, Acorn has offered so many informative ways  of rethinking how we teach children.

I enjoy participating in Rosalba's workshops over the years. It gives me great joy to bring these ideas back to my preschool classroom.
