Istituto San Carpoforo

Preschool

“Seen through a child’s eyes, anything is possible.”

Why Choose the San Carpoforo Preschool?

Our school is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, an innovative method that values the child and sees them as strong and capable in their learning journey, within a socio-relational context based on respect and the circularity of communication.

In this framework, the teacher acts as a guide and “active listener,” attentive to the child’s interests. The educational project is also characterized by a strong Catholic emphasis, aimed at respecting each individual’s uniqueness.

Advantages

  • Children are the main characters in their own learning
  • Children can pursue their own interests and develop ideas at their own pace
  • Children seek knowledge through their own investigations and research
  • The educational space is considered a “Third Educator,” enabling exploration, play, and learning
