The welcome
School is a place of meeting and growth for people: children, families, teachers.
Our educational project is linked to the identity of a Catholic Christian institution.
Our school presents itself as a place for the integral formation of the person, for the benefit of all children without discrimination.
And it is precisely from the centrality of the person that our educational and teaching choices depend.
Experiential Methodology
In fact, the educational team has chosen and shares, as a tool for planning and organizing educational and teaching activities, the Experiential Methodology
The idea
is to shape learning proposals aimed at becoming aware of oneself, of others, and of the reality that surrounds us.
In dialogue with nature
For the school year 2026/2027 our preschool has chosen to adopt a new teaching approach, based on listening, observation, and respect for children’s timing and genuine interests. The common thread will be the macro-theme “In dialogue with nature”, which will guide all sections, but without a rigid, one-size-fits-all plan.
Each class, in fact, will develop a specific pathway, built starting from the curiosities, desires, and needs expressed by the children themselves, through play, questions, explorations, and everyday relationships.
This proposal is grounded in a strong “pedagogical value”: starting from children means recognizing them as competent, active individuals, able to think, choose, imagine, and build meaning.
The teacher takes on the role of careful observer, guide, and companion, in a shared journey that enhances creativity, participation, and discovery.
Catholic Religion
Religious education is part of the educational and teaching path of the Preschool, which deals in particular with the growth and development of children’s personality. Catholic Religion activities offer opportunities for the education of new generations and for their growth, promoting deeper reflection on their experiences in order to give an appropriate answer to their questions. Throughout the school year, children will be helped to become aware of themselves and of the world around them, through the discovery of the gifts they receive every day.
The miracles of Jesus
The religion workshop “Jesus’ miracles” will guide children in discovering
some of the extraordinary deeds performed by Jesus, helping them grasp their meaning
through storytelling, listening and experience.
With the help of Don Alberto Clerici,
four miracles of Jesus will be told, chosen to offer children ideas for reflection and growth.
Through the stories, important themes will emerge such as love, trust, solidarity, sharing, hope and helping others.
At the same time, the teachers, in their respective classes, will develop the main themes through hands-on activities, games, creative workshops and moments of discussion, allowing children to rework what they have heard and connect it to their everyday experience.
Let’s learn to think by playing
Coding project
This program involves 5-year-old children.
The aim of the experience is to guide children in discovering computational thinking, that is, to enable them to learn to think by playing in order to find solutions to various problems.
Small Circus Workshop
For: Children aged 3, 4 and 5
The Little Circus Workshop offers children a playful motor experience focused on
well-being, integrated growth and self-discovery.
Through free and guided play, children explore basic motor patterns, coordination and body awareness, while also stimulating imagination and identification.
In strong continuity with psychomotor work, the circus is offered as a welcoming setting where each child enhances their own uniqueness.
Through the use of circus equipment and symbolic play, cooperation, listening and mutual respect are encouraged, immersed in an artistic and expressive dimension rich in creativity, beauty and wonder.
English
ENGLISH SPLASH – A DIVE INTO ENGLISH
Project for children aged 3, 4 and 5
Teachers: Patrizia, Romina and Floriana
A fun path to take the first steps in the English language through play,
music and experience.
What we will do together: The seasons and the weather: we will discover that you can play with wind, rain and snow... but speaking another language!
New words: we will learn numbers, the names of cute animals and the right clothes for every kind of weather. Routines and songs: at each meeting our "guide-songs" and circle time will help us get familiar with English in a natural way.
The aim of the project: to bring children closer to a new language with joy and enthusiasm, using play and listening to make learning a pleasant and spontaneous moment.
Hands in the dough
In the cooking workshop, the little chefs learn by doing: they knead, mix, and discover ingredients, scents, and textures.
With simple recipes, they develop fine motor skills, autonomy, and respect for rules. Every small gesture becomes a great discovery.

Civic education
Children aged 5 years will be involved.
The workshop will be conducted by the Commander of the local police of Montano Lucino Milko Tagliabue.
The motivation behind a road safety education project in kindergarten is to encourage children to acquire appropriate and safe behaviors on the road. The internalization of certain rules from early childhood takes on a fundamental significance in the child's growth as a future citizen and as a conscious and responsible user of the road system.
Children will be encouraged to understand the rules of the road and will experience them firsthand. The workshop will be divided into two parts: theoretical and practical.
A road course with signage will be created inside the school courtyard, allowing them to put into practice what they have learned.
Sewing workshop
LITTLE DESIGNERS IN ACTION
The 5-year-old children are involved
The sewing workshop, designed especially for little creatives, will be the place where children can explore the world of sewing through simple and fun activities. Using safe and age-appropriate materials, such as plastic needles and colored felt, they will learn to create small projects like animal shapes, hearts, or little flowers to decorate.
This workshop is designed to promote children's motor development in a playful and creative environment.
All materials are safe and suitable for their age. The children will be guided step by step by the teachers and two "seamstresses" to ensure safety and fun.
Augmentative and Alternative Communication
IN OUR TEACHING ACTIVITIES WE USE AAC (AUGMENTATIVE AND ALTERNATIVE COMMUNICATION). What is it?
AAC is the set of strategies, tools, and techniques implemented in clinical and domestic settings (school) to ensure communication for people who cannot express themselves verbally.
AAC does not aim to replace verbal language: on the contrary, as it is augmentative, AAC involves the simultaneous presence of an alternative tool and standard oral verbal language, which is accompanied by the symbol both visually and orally, through the support of the communication partner who pronounces it aloud.
The symbol then becomes an alternative support that accompanies the incoming oral verbal stimulus and, where possible, accompanies and does not inhibit the outgoing verbal production. Consequently, Augmentative Communication does not inhibit the possible emergence of verbal language, but rather aims to enhance it.
Strengthening prerequisites for primary school in preschool
Metaphonology is a metalinguistic knowledge that allows the child to distinguish and work with the syllables and phonemes that make up the Italian language.
Good metaphonological skills and good training in mathematical prerequisites are essential for future school learning and to reduce the risk of possible future learning difficulties.
The project involves the implementation of a skills enhancement workshop at primary school, aimed at all children in the last year of kindergarten, subject to parental authorization.

Art therapy workshop
THE GHIRIGORI GANG
Lorena Randazzo- Art Therapist
Target group: Children aged 3, 4 and 5
This program was created to offer children a safe space where they can give voice to their inner world through play, hands-on making and creativity.
Moving beyond a purely verbal channel, the little participants will have the chance to freely explore colors, shapes and sensory materials in a non-judgmental setting, where creating is growing.
Through hands-on activities and different expressive languages, the workshop supports
psycho-motor development, encourages emotion regulation and strengthens self-efficacy and socialization.
Each meeting respects every child’s pace, valuing the
creative process more than the final result, to learn to share and discover ourselves together with joy.
Theater workshop
WHAT HAPPENED TO SANTA CLAUS?
With Fabio Algarotti
For: Children aged 3, 4 and 5
Through theatrical play, body expression and role-play, children will
dive into a fun, engaging and highly inclusive story.
Together with teacher Fabio Algarotti, the little actors will set off on a special journey in search of Santa Claus, exploring different places around the world to rediscover the most
authentic and profound meaning of the holidays: friendship, sharing and welcoming.
An expressive path designed to spark creativity, self-confidence and cooperation within the group, experiencing the magic of Christmas in an atmosphere of pure joy and wonder.
On the occasion of the Christmas party, the children together with Fabio will tell you a
special story, in which you will discover what happened to Santa Claus.
Intersection projects
The joy of colors
Project for 3-year-old children
Teachers: Paola and Patrizia
Colors are a wonderful way to explore the world, express emotions, and give space to imagination. With the project “The Joy of Colors”, children will learn to know them through play, imagination, and hands-on experience.
A magical starting point: The Jewelry Box
Each color will be revealed thanks to a special jewelry box: a box of wonders from which, time after time, objects, fabrics, and little treasures in the color of the day will emerge to spark children’s curiosity and anticipation!
What we will do together:
The primary colors: We will begin discovering yellow, red, and blue through the “treasures” of the
jewelry box and daily observation.
The secondary colors:
With fun experiments and hands-on activities, we will mix the primary colors to create orange, green, and purple.
White and Black: We will explore the contrast between light and dark to understand how colors communicate different feelings.
Games and materials: We will use objects and tools inspired by the colors revealed during the
journey.
Why is it important?
For young children, color is a true language: it allows them to explore
space, communicate their emotions, and develop creativity in a natural, gradual, and engaging way.
Goldilocks discovers space
Project for 4-year-old children
Teachers: Monica and Romina
The famous story of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” will guide us on a wonderful journey of
learning and discovery!
Through the fairy tale and its friendly characters, children will be able to identify with the
events and emotions of everyday life.
What we will learn together:
Time: by putting the scenes of the story in order, we will take our first steps through before, now and
after (present, past and future).
Space and size: we will explore the bears’ house and learn spatial relationships
(above/below, inside/outside) and sizes (big, medium, small).
The work, hands-on activities and discoveries made will be collected in a lapbook, a
special handmade notebook that will bring together the whole journey.
Graphomotor skills: from body to mark
Project for 5-year-old children
Teachers: Lorena and Floriana
A pathway designed to guide children toward Primary School, fostering the
development of an increasingly confident and advanced graphic gesture.
How we will work:
From body to paper: learning will take place through experience. First we will use the body,
movement and play, then turn the experience into a graphic mark on paper.
Fine motor skills and coordination: we will train the small muscles of the hands and fingers
through hands-on activities to hold writing tools in the best way.
Space, balance and orientation: we will do games and movement exercises to improve
balance and learn to orient ourselves in space (essential for learning to
move well on the page too).
The project's goal:
Support the child's overall development, stimulating their confidence, harmony of
movement and the key prerequisites needed to face the start of primary school with peace of mind.
