It is understandably very hard to visit the infant toddler centres and preschools of Reggio Emilia. You can only visit them as part of the International Study Group, and even then, you can't chose the ones you go inside.
We had a good stalk around the outside of the Diana Preschool but didn't get the chance to go in and were really curious to see it as the first municipal preschool in Reggio Emilia and the place where Loris Malaguzzi grew his very special approach. We have however found a pretty detailed description from an unnamed author at Bennett Day School in Chicago of a morning in the famous Diana Preschool. And hopefully we will get the chance to visit ourselves on their open evening in January 2017.
