Educational strategies

Nido del Collegio Villoresi
Space and time for children

Attention to the space, the environment and the organisation into areas of interest help to stimulate and intrigue the child, motivating him or her in learning. Daily routines help children to organise the reality of their school experience.

Tailor-made process

The educator's role is to accompany, support and sustain the child in his or her development and growth, valuing his or her uniqueness.

Listening to needs

Trust is the basis for building a caring relationship between educator and child on a daily basis.

Care for bonds

Nurturing the bonds between the children, between the educators and the children and between the educators and the family through respect and trust allows a cooperative work that supports the child's growth at school and at home.

Valuing the individual child

Participate in its gaze as it encounters the world to develop its skills, recognising and enhancing his or her potential.

Educational Goal

The purpose of the Collegio's Nursery School is to introduce children to society and establish their first relationships with their peers. It represents the first detachment from the family, so it is an emotionally intense time and children are helped to cope with new situations with empathic support in order to create a 'secure base' for their development.

  • Managing emotions during the separation from the family and in the relationship with oneself

  • Principles of socialisation, with emphasis on peer relations and cooperation

  • Knowledge of initial Christian values

  • Body management and self-knowledge

  • Acquisition of language and its forms of communication

For the growth of the pupil

Educators establish clear and effective communication with families, focused on the child and his/her needs. The school supports parenting during school hours, at section meetings, in individual interviews and through the listening desk run by psychologists and pedagogues.
