This report documents the pedagogical transformation of an early learning outdoor environment through a Reggio Emilia–inspired approach. It outlines how the redevelopment of the Brookview garden moved beyond physical redesign to become a catalyst for changes in teaching practice, child engagement, and community relationships. Central to the project is the conceptualisation of the environment as a “third teacher”, shaping learning through interaction, exploration, and co-construction of knowledge. The report situates the redevelopment within broader theoretical perspectives, including socio-cultural and constructivist approaches, and highlights its alignment with national frameworks such as Aistear (2024).
