Getting to know the environment is of the most important experiences for any child, and it is precisely for this reason that the school believes in the value of the Nature Project. The children have the opportunity to engage directly with the natural world while experimenting with the developmental phases of plants from seed to plant. This activity helps young ones to develop a range of skills from observation and exploration to cultivation. Through caring for different kinds of plants, they learn to recognize life cycles and develop deeper respect for the world which surrounds them, an awareness which is further encouraged by projects aimed at understanding and promoting recycling and reuse. I bambini hanno l?opportunità di mettersi in gioco in prima persona sperimentando dal vivo le fasi di crescita dai semi alle piantine. Questa attività aiuta i piccoli a sviluppare abilità diverse dall?osservazione, all?esplorazione, alla coltivazione: attraverso la cura delle varie tipologie di piante si impara a conoscere il ciclo della vita e il rispetto per ciò che ci circonda. In quest’ottica viene anche proposta l?attività di differenziazione dei rifiuti e progetti per insegnare l’importanza del riciclo.

Introducing children to the world of books is a unique opportunity for growth. Before even learning to read, our young ones experiment with reading through the senses, including looking, touching, and smelling. Books offer so many possibilities as objects apart from their primary function as the container of stories. di una più articolata comunicazione.

Books contribute to the creation of spaces of shared communication, inclusion, and integration. The school gives children the weekly opportunity to choose books to borrow and share with their parents at home.

Nowadays children live in a world which is increasingly digital, and with this in mind, Rubinato Nursery School has decided to open its doors to technology through a constructivist didactical approach which encourages the teaching of “doing” and experimentation. With the term educational robotics, we don’t mean the study of robots as a subject, but as a didactical means. The objective is not the creation of future programmers, but rather to encourage the development of computational and problem-solving skills, even those which are relatively complex, and the application of logic. Robotics is an important instrument in the acquisition of a variety of skills including spatial perception, orientation, hand-eye coordination, and storytelling. Morevoer, Educational Robotics facilitates the inclusion of children with special educational needs. Inoltre la robotica educativa facilita l’inclusione dei bambini con Bisogni Educativi Speciali.

At Rubinato we believe in the values of equality and respect, and we strive to create an environment of inclusion in which each child’s uniqueness and individuality is respected. Inclusion is promoted in a playful way, with activities aimed at encouraging cooperation and integration in order to improve self-esteem and educational motivation. We seek to reduce educational, emotional, and social difficulty, and, in doing so, improve motivation for learning and school life. This is done in parallel with activities organized by Social Service entities in the local community. Teamwork is essential in achieving the best results. ottenere i massimi risultati.

Field trips create opportunities for discovery, observation, and research in natural and social environments. These are important occasions for learning aimed at acquiring the sense of belonging and the desire to protect our cultural and environmental heritage. Depending on the annual didactic plan, the children might be accompanied on trips to natural environments, participate in workshops, visit exhibitions, or attend theatrical performances.  Some of these trips include visits to didactic farms, sports centers, natural parks, Museo di Santa Caterina, Ca’ dei Carraresi, Ca’ da Noal, the Children’s Art Biennial, the Teatro Comunale, the Teatro Sant’Anna, as well as churches and historic buildings.

The school organizes educational programs connected to health and safety in order to develop basic awareness through activities which encourage movement but also first aid, road safety, and safety education in different contexts.

In order to prepare our third-year students for the transition into primary school, a variety of activities are organized to stimulate curiosity towards written language but also towards the mechanisms which regulate oral language, encouraging our young ones to reflect on the importance of language and its uses. Our teachers also organize projects which aim to introduce children to numbers in their role as both symbols and useful instruments.

Rubinato Nursery School believes in the power of teamwork and works with other nursery schools to encourage a smooth start for our little ones. l’accoglienza dei piccoli e con le scuole primarie per accompagnare i grandi ad affrontare con serenità la nuova We also work with local primary schools to prepare our third-year students for the transition to primary school. The school also organizes opportunities for families to meet with the school staff, to encourage a relationship based on cooperation and communication. During the first months after starting school, children’s serenity is fundamental. Respecting each student’s individual needs is at the basis of every activity. Developing a sense of independence, breaking away from the parent figure and becoming part of a school community requires patience and care and needs to be achieved with attention and reassurance. During the early weeks, routine is fundamental because it fosters a sense of security in children. Nei primi mesi di ingresso nella scuola è importante per infondere nei bambini serenità: il rispetto dei tempi e dei bisogni di ciascuno è alla base di ogni attività. Sviluppare la propria autonomia, staccandosi dalle figure parentali ed inserendosi in un contesto scolastico è un percorso che richiede pazienza e cura e che deve essere seguito con la giusta attenzione e rassicurazione. Nel primo periodo di inserimento le attività di routine sono fondamentali perché  infondono sicurezza nel bambino.

Rubinato Nursery School promotes encounters between children and elderly residents of a local nursing home, moments when children and senior citizens can share experiences and laughter. The children create little crafts to give as gifts and learn songs to entertain the residents. Our visits are always very much appreciated by the residents, to whom the children bring a great deal of joy.
