Childrearing is has become a social problem in general. Yet, infant caring facilities are far from enough, and need to be increased not only quantitatively but also qualitatively. As the society is regarding infants as the ones with rights, 'Reggio Emilia educational theory' is also gaining interest with its philosophy and methods of open education. Malaguzzi stated that this theory had been influenced by the exchange of opinions with progressive educational figures in many cities, study and experiments by Piaget school, and researches by many scholars, such as Dewey, Vygotsky and Bruner. The ideal directions for the space organization of early childhood education facilities can be categorized into those about educational methods and those about educational environment. The space for documentation and the mirror space, the atelier and the mini atelier are about educational methods, and the piazza and the indoor garden, the horizontality and mutuality of space, and the classroom with tables for small group activities and various materials are about educational surroundings. Reggio Emilia educational theory began in 1950, but it changes depending on the passage of time and the changes in a local community by principle. Therefore, it must continue to be examined with the educational concepts fit for Korean situation for more open education, and space in children education insitute also requires continuous study.
