The Sanzio nursery welcomes girls and boys aged between 3 months and 36 months and is located on the first floor of a structure which also includes a nursery school.

The three sections are organized in such a way as to accommodate groups of "small" children (children up to 12 months) and "medium-large" children (children between 13 and 36 months) in balanced numbers that respond to the specific needs of the age group. age.

In addition to the sections, girls and boys access various educational experiences in the common areas of the nursery: experience room, motor space, garden and terraces.

Il Nido has an internal kitchen managed by Milano Ristorazione. Lunch is administered by the educational staff who accompanies girls and boys on their journey of learning about their first autonomies and sensorial experimentation, as well as the acquisition, in collaboration with the families, of nutritional education.

The educational college, coordinated by the Manager, is responsible for the planning and implementation of the educational paths promoted during the year. In the presence of girls or boys with disabilities, an additional staff of educational support staff is provided.

The section represents the space where girls and boys spend the moments of greatest emotional and cognitive involvement during the educational day: educators take care of girls and boys and support their growth path through the design of the spaces and the setting up educational experiences aimed at supporting the peculiarities of each individual albeit from an inclusive and community perspective.

Our sections are called Yellow (small), Orange (medium) and Red (large).
For each section there is a space dedicated to resting for girls and boys, a space for lunch and a space for care and hygiene. The educators, in preparing these spaces and these moments, guarantee an organization of the educational day that is careful to encourage the child's actions, the exploration of spaces and materials and self-care, with the presence and constant accompaniment of the adult. 

Each section overlooks a reference terrace. The garden, shared with the nursery school, is enjoyed in a small group.
