Continuity

Horizontal Continuity: School and Family

  • The family is considered the primary educational environment and is therefore called upon to actively collaborate with the school. To this end, assembly meetings are scheduled throughout the year.

  • Training sessions are organized with the participation of various professionals and experts, such as psychologists, psychotherapists, sociologists, and pediatricians.

    • The psychologist, Dr. Rita Tucci, periodically observes the children and their work, then reports her observations during school–family meetings.

    • The pediatrician, Dr. Giuseppe Florio, examines the children at “Piccole Orme” to ensure their health and well-being.

  • Periodic celebrations: Every occasion is turned into a moment of festivity and an opportunity to spend time together.

Collaboration is fostered through dialogue and exchanges between teachers and parents to ensure continuity and consistency in educational approaches:

  • Teachers are available for individual meetings with parents.

  • The school encourages:

    • Participation in assemblies, individual meetings, and celebrations.

    • Collaboration between parents and teachers.

    • Respect for rules, schedules, and the careful work of the teachers.

All of this contributes to creating a coherent implicit curriculum based on mutual trust.

Vertical Continuity

  • Availability to share information about the child’s experiences and development.

  • Openness to relationships founded on transparency, trust, respect, and active participation.

  • From preschool to primary school: Opportunities are provided for meetings between preschool teachers and primary school teachers, as well as exchanges and visits involving students in the transitional “bridge years.”

  • Assessment of individual developmental and learning levels to facilitate children’s transition to primary school.

  • Personalized interventions to help each child acquire foundational skills, which serve as prerequisites for future learning.
