The Outdoor Garden

Vicenza kindergarten

The garden of our nursery in Vicenza is one of the strengths of the structure.

Of large size, it is divided into areas to create the "bubbles" necessary for security management with particular reference to anti-covid measures.

This outdoor space allows children of all ages to express all their physicality. They need to inhabit open space and perceive their own bodily self. The educational idea that children learn best through free play and discovery is shared. Free play is a complex concept, but it is the typical game of children for many reasons: it is enjoyable, self-motivated, imaginative, not directed to specific purposes, spontaneous, active and free from rules imposed by adults.

The outdoor game offers the child a privileged setting compared to the usual sectional game: the sensory experience is different, activities are carried out that would be prohibited or barely tolerated indoors, you can enjoy more freedom and breath, you can run and shout , there is the freedom to play too
“disordered” activities that would be impossible indoors.
