The welcome
The school is a place for meeting and growth for people: children, families, teachers.
Our educational project is linked to the identity of a Christian Catholic institution.
Our school aims to be 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 didactic choices depend.
Experiential Methodology
The educational team has in fact chosen and shares as a tool for planning and organizing educational and didactic activities the Experiential Methodology
The idea
is to shape educational proposals aimed at raising awareness of oneself, others, and the reality that surrounds us.
In dialogue with nature
For the school year 2025/2026 our kindergarten has chosen to adopt a new teaching methodology, based on listening, observation, and respecting the authentic timing and interests of the children. The common thread will be the macro-theme “In dialogue with nature,” which will guide all classes, but without a rigid and identical program for everyone.
Each class, in fact, will develop a specific path, built from the curiosities, desires, and needs expressed by the children themselves, through play, questions, explorations, and daily relationships.
This proposal is based on a strong “pedagogical value”: starting from the children means recognizing them as competent, active subjects, capable of thinking, choosing, imagining, and constructing meaning.
The teacher takes on the role of attentive observer, guide, and companion, in a shared journey that values creativity, participation, and discovery.
Catholic Religion
Religious education is part of the educational and didactic path of the Nursery School, which is particularly concerned with the growth and development of children's personalities. Catholic Religion activities offer opportunities for the formation of new generations and for their maturation, promoting deeper reflection on their experiences in order to provide adequate answers to their questions. Throughout the school year, children will be helped to become aware of themselves and the world around them, through the discovery of the gifts they receive every day.
The Saints …Our friends
In the religion workshop, we will get to know some figures of saints, special friends of Jesus, who with their lives teach us to care for others and to bring light into the world.
We will talk about what they did and the great gift they were for humanity.
Through their stories, we too will practice cultivating some precious qualities that open us to the love of God and help us become his special friends: kindness, generosity, listening, forgiveness, patience, sharing, and the courage to do good.
With games, stories, and creative activities, we will discover how every small act of love can make a difference!
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.
Psychomotricity
Children aged 3-4-5 years are involved.
The workshop is conducted by Dr. Ilaria Papis (Psychomotor Therapist).
The proposed activities are based on spontaneous play, as the child bases his or her discoveries and knowledge on action and movement.
Thanks to the expressiveness of play and non-verbal language, the child is given the opportunity to get to know themselves, the space, but above all is offered the chance to have an educational group experience that is stimulating and enriching.
During the course, in addition to spontaneous play experiments, motor activities with specific objectives will be proposed based on the needs of the group, in order to create an atmosphere of well-being, trust, and security.
The child, in fact, not being judged for what they do or how they act, feels respected in their own timing and understood in their way of expressing themselves and being.
Psychomotor play also encourages the transition from the pleasure of acting to the pleasure of thinking, thanks to the verbal reworking of experiences, an opportunity to express one's experiences and share them with others and with adults.
English
LER’S PLAY WITH SHAPES AND COLOURS
The English workshop has been designed to introduce children to the language in a natural and fun way.
The course will be dedicated to the world of “shapes and colours”, which the children will discover through games, hands-on activities, nursery rhymes, and songs.
The goal is not to teach the language in the traditional sense, but to create a first positive contact with English, stimulating curiosity and familiarity with new sounds and words.
The workshop will be led by the teachers, in a playful and welcoming environment, respecting the children's pace and ways.
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.

MUSICAL PROJECT
DISCOVERING A MUSICAL WORLD
Children aged 3-4-5 are involved
The workshop will be conducted by the music teacher DAVID CILLI from the Musical Association “TROVA IL TEMPO” of APPIANO GENTILE.
Through stories, songs, fantastic characters, fairy tales, and folk songs from all over the world, children will have the opportunity to experience their own musicality.
The use of the body is very important in the child's experimentation process. The main goal is to allow the child to "make" music through the means already at their disposal and to make music one of the elements of the overall development of their personality and expressiveness.
Theatricality project
The theatricality project is a playful-expressive journey designed for children where play becomes a tool for exploration, relationships, and creativity.
Through simple and engaging theatrical activities, children will discover the pleasure of moving, speaking, and imagining together.
The workshop encourages listening, cooperation, and the expression of emotions, respecting each child's pace and characteristics.
The journey will conclude with a final show, open to parents, in which the little protagonists will share the magic of theater.
A unique experience to grow while playing and to tell the world with new eyes.
The aim of the journey is to stimulate imagination, socialization, and self-awareness, guiding children to express themselves freely through the language of theater, their bodies, and their imagination. With my experience, I will try to add a touch of fun and passion along our journey.
Intersection projects
From doodling to pre-writing
Small group 3 years old - A journey without space
The pre-writing path represents an important stage of growth for children in the last year of preschool. Through playful and creative activities, children will be guided to discover and strengthen fundamental skills (grip of the tool, hand-eye coordination, listening skills, completing tasks within the required time) in preparation for the transition to primary school. What will we do?
- Games with the body to understand physical space and one's position in the environment
- Work on the sheet space to orient themselves on the graphic plane
- Use of common and recycled materials to reproduce lines, shapes, and in a playful way
- Manipulative and creative activities
- Tracing paths and dotted lines on worksheets
- Graphic dictation
Little explorers of topology
Middle group 4 years old
Inside, outside, above, below... let's discover space by playing!
The workshop is designed to help children become familiar with basic topological concepts such as inside/outside, above/below, in front/behind, near/far, open/closed. These notions are fundamental for the development of spatial thinking, logical reasoning, and to improve orientation in space and on paper.
The approach will be practical and sensory, through: illustrated stories, motor games and courses, manipulation activities, image matching, drawings, and graphic activities.
The proposals will be structured in progressive and interactive paths designed to gradually involve children, respecting each one's learning pace.
Signs and spaces
5-year-old big group
“Colors walk, crawl, jump, dance in a circle on the paper…”
Scribbling is born as a spontaneous and authentic expression: it is the moment when a child picks up a pencil, a crayon, or a marker and moves it on the paper, experimenting with resistance, pressure, rhythm, direction… until they discover with wonder that they are “leaving a mark.” From here come signs, colors, emotions.
Our journey will start from a sensory and experimental approach, with activities involving smearing, mixing, and conscious use of materials. The workshop will gradually become richer, following the children’s development, their timing, and their curiosities.
The workshop will adopt experiential teaching, centered on exploring the five senses.
The materials offered will be varied and AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) will be used to promote understanding and personal expression.
