100 Languages
- Children have extreme potentials; they have many ways to express, to think, and to understand
- The school's job is not to steal these languages ("They tell the child: to discover the world already there and of the hundred, they steal ninety-nine")

Connection to ECE
- Malaguzzi's Reggio Emilia approach was the product of the WWII and the strong opposition to fascism
- Parents wanted to make sure their children could think for themselves so they do not obey blindly to a political ideology (i.e., fascism)
- Children are the subject of rights
- Parents are central to learning
- Learning happens through collaboration (participating, discussing with others, being in relationship with others)
- Documentation / observation makes learning "visible"
Connection to Kindergarten
- Documentation is the key in a successful kindergarten classroom where children dictate their learning and the teacher use the observation / documentation as a guide to extend their learning
- The role and involvement of parents in education
- Children can express their learning in many ways (e.g., speaking, through a form of arts, play)
- Children learn collaboratively - among each other and with teachers
