Montessori- the program is "student-led and self-paced," which means that children are encouraged to learn in their own way, in their own time. Teachers act as "guides," and classrooms are set up to facilitate independent exploration.
Reggio Emilia- Reggio Emilia-based programs encourage children to take learning into their own hands. According to Scholastic, teachers build the curriculum around their students' interests and ideas, and then guide kids toward in-depth, interactive projects that relate to those pursuits.
Waldorf- Waldorf programs follow a consistent daily and weekly schedule, with set days and times for specific activities. It emphasizes play and creativity over strict academics, with a goal of nurturing kids emotionally as well as intellectually. "To assist children to continue this journey into life in a healthy way, through an ever-deepening understanding of the human being in body, soul, and spirit.
HighScope- The HighScope method centers around "active learning," the idea that kids gain knowledge "through their natural play and interactions with the environment, events, and other people." HighScope schools prioritize communication between students and teachers, consistent daily routines, and ongoing assessment based on a system "key developmental indicators."
Bank Street- Bank Street's self-described progressive approach to education is based on the idea that "children learn best when they are actively engaged with ideas, materials, and people." Teachers act as "facilitators of learning" and "provide students with meaningful learning opportunities best suited for their learning and growth."
Cooperative- Cooperative preschools are ideal for parents who want a very hands-on role in their child's education. These schools may or may not follow a single philosophy — what really defines them is the fact that parents have a say, and a responsibility, in how they're run. According to Great Schools, parents in a cooperative preschool typically handle things like upkeep, food, and finances. In most cases, a professional teacher runs the classroom, but parents may help develop the curriculum and even act as aid

Different types of early childhood education break down into 2 different categories; types of schooling and what teaching practices they follow.
Types of schools include:
Infant and Toddler programs: Working on early socialization, development of skills, exposure to different cultures, materials, and experiences.
Preschool Programs: Begin introducing letters, numbers, and other information through art, books, and music.
PreK: Preparation for kindergarten. Working on academic information that will be presented to children in kindergarten.
Elementary school: Foundations of education for future academics.
Then there are teaching practices:
Montessori: self-directed activity, hands-on learning and collaborative play.
Waldorf: developmentally appropriate, experiential, and academically rigorous approach to education
Reggio Emilia education: Child lead approach that follows the interest of the child, along with a focus on social collaboration
