Annie-pops Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Hi - don't know if this is a silly question. My daughter is currently working on a piece of research and has just asked me where the idea of Continuous Provision came from. I'm sure I should be able to answer this but, actuallly, I don't know if I can. Can any of you clever people out there give me some ideas. All I could think was that it evolved from children making choices and planning from their interests which made me think of Reggio Emilia but other than that I am stumped!

I seem to remember that it originated in the USA in the early 1900s when nurseries were opened for disadvantaged children and they found that this way of working maximised the learning opportunities. I used to use the Highscope approach in the nusery I worked in and I believe this was derived from the US way of working. Hope this helps as I am a bit fuzzy on the details as the course was about 30 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
