The \u201cnursery\u201d… the refuge. A safe place, protected, where the baby explores, observes and works.<\/em><\/h4>

Montessori\u2019s bilingual nursery is not just \u201cassistance\u201d and \u201ccare\u201d for the baby, but it is a \u201cplanned environment\u201d to answer their need to expand their own strengths and vital energies. For this reason the age bracket between 0 and 3 years old is placed in an innovative and coherent path which follows the Montessori\u2019s method also in the age bracket between 3 and 6 years old.<\/p>

Before the academic insertion, parents meet the teacher who will follow the baby in the following step. During the meeting, they prepare a very detailed sheet to take into account general habits, food habits, particular sanitary norms. The insertion phase, which can happen any time of the year, lasts about a week, from Monday to Friday. The hours of the nursery from September to July are from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, a time during which babies are followed by specialised teachers, all of them graduated in education science and trained in the Montessori method. Particular attention is given to food. Meals are prepared by cooks of the inside canteen who follow the guidelines of the ASL (Local Health Authority) and take into account eventual intolerances or allergies.<\/p>

The school day unrolls in Italian and English at the same time, with the presence of a native English teacher every day for long hours, according to the principle of the so-called \u201clinguistic immersion\u201d (full immersion). In fact, only this way, the baby will learn the foreign language in an easy and spontaneous way, without any struggle.<\/p>

Montessori\u2019s method pays particular attention to the environment, to make sure the baby feels \u201cat home\u201d, to encourage independence and autonomy, and to make them get used to manage their own things. In the age bracket between zero and three years old, defined by Maria Montessori as \u201cpsycho-embrional phase\u201d, education actually coincides with life itself. The baby absorbs the skills they need from the surrounding environment, for this reason alongside academic activities, great care is given to practical life moments: eating, drinking, changing the nappy, washing\u2026<\/p>

Many daily activities are addressed to the reinforcement of deambulation, of motor coordination, of the use of hands and the improvement of language. From an emotional point of view we also work on the acceptance and overcoming of the delicate moment that is morning detachment.<\/p>

Every activity, however, is not carried out in a type-tested way, but adapted to the personality of the child and, most of all, respecting each baby\u2019s timings, with the aim of making the natural desire to \u201cdo by themselves\u201d emerge.<\/p>

Academic activities of the nursery take into account the little one\u2019s age, for this reason, in addition to the common environments destined to hosting, eating and resting, there are two different working rooms: one for younger babies, equipped in a way so as to allow the widest possibilities to explore and move around safely, and one for older babies, where there is more space for autonomy, creativity, organising skills and socialising.<\/p>

The little babies\u2019 room comprehends:<\/h5>
  1. Soft corner: provided with carpets (futons), pillows and the now known \u201cbasket of treasures\u201d to develop the polysensoriality of little ones.<\/li>
  2. Mirror corner, where the baby can explore and experiment themselves on a visual and deambulatory level.<\/li>
  3. First steps furniture: equipped to provide babies who are starting to experiment their walking skills with support.<\/li>
  4. Sensory corner: equipped with Montessori materials like joint tools, inserting and extracting, and pouring with natural objects.<\/li>
  5. Reading corner: with both English and Italian paperboard or rubber books and soft sofas.<\/li><\/ol>
    The big babies\u2019 room comprehends:<\/h5>
    1. Practical life corner: a space where babies work on daily actions: doing the laundry, hanging clothes to dry, swiping, dusting.<\/li>
    2. Sensory corner: where solid joint tools are used (pink tower, brown ladder, colour spools) and those materials help developing and building the personality, also helping the baby to create order in their notions.<\/li>
    3. Reading corner: equipped with proper books for the age of the babies and created to stimulate reading and enrichment of language.<\/li>
    4. Music corner, where the baby comes in contact with different musical instruments, listens the sound they produce and develops focus and listening skills. With the help of nursery rhymes and songs, the teacher brings the baby to the realisation that the voice can be \u201clow\u201d or \u201chigh\u201d and to become aware of their own auditory production.<\/li>
    5. Meal corner: here big babies have lunch, if necessary they also have a snack, other times the meal is had in the canteen with little babies. Taking turns, each baby will be invited to help the teacher to serve the meal, set the table, hand out bibs to their classmates.<\/li>
    6. Theatre corner: here we tell short stories, also displayed with the help of tissue puppets.<\/li><\/ol>
