WHAT IS A NURSERY SCHOOL

The nursery school is an educational service, aimed to all boys and girls agedfrom 3 to 6 years; promotes and supports their growth and theireducation in a continuous relationship with the companions, the adults andthe socio-cultural environment.

It’s a place of meeting and of mutual exchange between children, teachersand parents, that offers also the opportunity to families to be admitted,listened and supported in the everyday life with their children.

School welcomes all children regardless of status, gender, ethnicity andreligion.

WHEN DOES MY CHILD START TOATTEND NURSERY SCHOOL ?

During the first settling-in period at school, a special attention is providedto the welcoming.The family is invited to attend the meetings at the school to explain howthe school works and the way of integration and frequency of the kid.

To be remembered that:

Integration at school begins gradually to allow the child to get acquainted with new environment and teachers.

WHO TAKES CARE OF MY CHILD ?

In each section are attending two teachers who take turns during the day,with periods of co-presence ; practically in the morning there’s a presenceof two teachers, with the aim to:

• to establish a meaningful and individualized relationship with the group ofchildren;• to be able to offer opportunities for growth in an atmosphere of emotionalsecurity.• to create opportunities of activities all together or by small groups.

For children with special needs, in the section are provided educators/support teachers who follow them in a personalized way, but alwaystogether with the others kids.

In the schools there are auxiliary operators who takes care of the rooms,furnishings and materials. They cooperate with the teachers to organize andmanage the daily activities (entry, exit, lunch, snack etc.)

WHAT MY CHILD DOES AT SCHOOL ?

ORGANIZATION OF THE EDUCATIONAL CONTEXT The educational day is characterized by the so-called moments of routines,that marks and enrich of rituality and predictability all the daily activities ofchildren: moments as the welcome, the lunch, the personal care, are veryimportant educational occasions.

It’s a reassuring context because is organized in the times, in the spaces, inthe grouping of the children that , always, receive stimuli to learn and know.Whatever is the proposed activity, also guided by the teacher, it is always an experience of gaming and of learning.

ORGANIZATION OF SCHOOL TIMES• Entrance and welcome.• Snack of fruits and morning activities.• The lunch.• The afternoon activities and snack.• The leaving.

WHAT DOES EAT MY CHILD AT SCHOOL? In the nursery school, menus are elaborated on the basis of dietary tablesdifferentiated by age, according to the recommendations expressed bynational and international bodies and approved by USL .

Families can take a look at the menu in every schools. In some cases (strikesand problems related to conveyance) menus may undergo somemodifications.

Meals are daily prepared and packed by cooks in the kitchens inside theschools, or is provided a service transport where kitchen is not available.

The Town Council provides a monitoring system for a continuousimprovement of the quality of the service, which also includes theinvolvement of parents, teachers and older children in the “tasting panel”.

SPECIAL DIETS

For children that present particular health problems, as allergies/food

intolerance, diabetes, celiac disease, metabolic disorders, etc. is required a

medical certificate, issued by Family Pediatrician who follows the child. The

family delivers the document to the Doctor of Pediatric Community on

which are indicated the foods that the child cannot take. The Doctor of

Pediatric Community interacts with the Dietitian and School Director for the

realization of the diet.

Changes of alimentation for period less than 5 days ( for example due to

gastrointestinal problems on the mend ) does not require a medical

certificate. It is sufficient that the parents speak about it with the school

teachers, who then will provide to inform the kitchen staff.

Diets due to religious or cultural reasons do not require any certification. Application must be filled by the family according the manner provided in

the various territories and are managed directly by the Municipal

Administration Services and/or Directors of Private Educational Institutes,

which check the possible applicability of a modified diet table.

For celebrations of birthdays or for other occasions, are allowed only

sweets and cakes prepared in the kitchen of the school , where possible, or

originated from bakeries and pastry shops. We recommend simple and little

elaborated sweets, without colorful decorations, liquors, eggnog, creams,

whipped creams, mascarpone. Should be avoided also homemade ice

creams, frozen desserts and ice cream cakes.

Pediatric Community is located at CUP at via Fiume Abbandonato 134. For information : 0544 286909
