\nThe holistic development is promoted through a variety of languages (including tales, nature, arts, and music), which are identified as opportunities for the child to grow self-esteem and self-awareness.
\nThe educational team is supported by a psycho-pedagogist as well.
\nA great focus of the approach is based on the harmonic development of all faculties and vocations of the child with formative projects rather than informative ones. All educational projects are implemented with respect to the uniqueness of the child and the enhancement of the role of the parents.
\nThe main aspect of the approach is the educational style, all intentional teaching practices are finalized to creatively discover knowledge and self-realization. We believe that the child owns all the possibilities and human values within themselves: the role of the educator is therefore to create the right conditions for the child to explore them effectively creating their personality.

Particular attention is given to the narrative language of fairy tales and myths.<\/p>\n

Fairy tales and myths, with their symbolic images, are chosen based on the specific growth needs of each age group and allow the child to identify with the events narrated, to bring order to his inner movements, and to orientate himself in a world that for him is all about knowing and decoding.

Parents are considered precious allies as regards co-constructed educational actions implemented. The educational alliance provides families with consistent feedback and opportunities for dialogue on specific topics aiming to enhance educational roles and promote shared educational responsibility. This alliance allows the child to develop a sense of wellbeing and approach his learning journey with joy (the term Gioiosa in Italian means joyful).

The child is encouraged to share his\/her needs with other children in an atmosphere of trust and mutual respect. Relational life at Gioiosa is characterized by structured moments of ritual and sharing, to encourage the child to feel an active and purposeful part of a human circle. The children’s relationships with each other and with the caregivers are an important factor in promoting social competence.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1487079487849{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1489757745160{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n\t\t\t\t\t

Helping children recognize, identify, and express their emotions and feelings, allows them to freely and healthy acknowledge them throughout their daily routines and in their future lives.
\nChildren can understand that emotions can be given a name, and by recognizing them children can express them, recollect them and use them to gain knowledge.
\nListening to emotional needs and cultivating feelings are constant references for all educational projects and experiences provided.<\/p>\n

\u201cNeglecting emotions is the highest risk that a child can run into when going to school” (U. Galimberti)

The child is supported and encouraged to grow a sense of respect and acceptance for diversity, identified as an opportunity for enrichment of their individuality.<\/p>\n

Each child is given a task (compito), a responsibility: he\/she is called to donate to the group their skills, take over roles that can support individual development, social identity, and self-awareness while at the same time developing respect for what\u2019s different.
