Preschool
Our Preschool warmly welcomes boys and girls aged 3 to 6, embarking on an enriching journey of development. Our primary aim is to foster the growth of their identity, autonomy, and competence, laying the groundwork for active citizenship. Our Preschool is dedicated to creating a nurturing environment and actively aligns itself with the principles of cultural and institutional pluralism enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic, the Convention on the Rights of the Child and Adolescence, and the documents of the European Union.
Our Preschool sections are thoughtfully organized based on children’s year of birth, ensuring a higher level of homogeneity. This intentional grouping allows us to bring out their unique qualities and enhance their abilities in terms of attention, concentration, and learning. Our approach is designed not only to stimulate intuitive thinking but also to provide a supportive space for each child to flourish and discover their potential.
