The purpose of this literature review (Alsedrani, 2018) is to present an overview of the Reggio Emilia approach (REA), the events that preceded its development, its fundamental principles, and its theoretical frameworks (social constructivist theory and the community of collaboration perspective). In addition, several applications of the Reggio Emilia approach in different countries were reviewed such as: the US, Canada, China, South Africa, and finally, Kuwait. In each country, literature about the unique difficulties and successes the REA faced will be discussed.
