Eight hours of activity a day
The Gonzaga Campus Preschool offers a rich program of recreational and workshop activities, Monday through Friday, from 8:10 a.m. to 4:10 p.m., for a total of 40 hours per week. Early dismissal at 2:10 p.m. is available. Activities are designed to foster creativity, socialization, and learning through engaging and diverse experiences, in a nurturing environment that values each child.
Care for the child's uniqueness (tutoring) and comprehensive education
Personal care (cura personalis) expresses the fundamental, yet targeted, attention to each child's unique journey, encouraging them to become aware of themselves and the world around them, to gradually develop their autonomy, and to internalize everything related to coexistence.
Bilingualism
Our preschool in Palermo offers a bilingual Italian-English environment. Each class is staffed primarily by an Italian-speaking teacher, with the support of an English specialist for three hours a day. This small-group approach fosters natural and spontaneous learning of the basics of the foreign language. Children are thus immersed in the simultaneous use of two languages throughout the day, absorbing the second foreign language continuously and naturally.
Active pedagogy centered on play and fields of experience
At Gonzaga Campus, play is the key to learning: an essential dimension through which children explore, create, express themselves, and grow. Thanks to active teaching and hands-on learning, students learn about themselves and the world, developing cognitive, relational, and emotional skills in a stimulating and welcoming educational environment.
Activities with digital
The Gonzaga Campus Nursery School promotes a conscious and creative use of technology, integrating it into educational programs to support learning, stimulate children's curiosity, and facilitate communication and daily management in a safe and stimulating environment.
