Our pre-primary school aims to:

- Promove interpersonal relationships to know

children and their stories;

- Be a social context where all the stories converge

and the differences are compared and integrated;

- Stimulate the physical and emotional autonomy

of children as a privileged way to manifest and

implement the strategies of thought and action of

each;

- Consider the activities as a means to strengthen the autonomy and individual identity.

The major targets for skills development, as

indicated by the Italian Ministry of

Education (2007) are:

1) The Self and the Other

The big questions, the moral sense, living together

2) The body in action

Identity, autonomy, health
