Bilingual Kindergarten in Milan

At our Bilingual Kindergarten, children aged 3–5 learn through playful, creative projects in language, maths, science, arts and more, guided by Italian and English teachers.

Our curriculum

At our British Kindergarten, children follow the Cambridge Early Years programme, fostering physical, cognitive, social and emotional growth. Nature and its cycles are central, with creative activities using natural and recycled materials to spark curiosity and invention.

Personal, Social and Emotional Development

Growing with confidence and empathy

Children develop a positive sense of self and confidence in their abilities, strengthening social learning, the building of friendships, the regulation of their emotions and consideration for the needs of others.

Personal, Social and Emotional Development

Literacy

A love for reading and writing

Children are encouraged to take their first independent steps towards learning the basic phonemes and graphemes of Italian and English.

Literacy

Understanding the World

Discovering communities and cultures

Children begin to understand the physical world around them and their community through opportunities to explore and observe via activities designed to develop geographical and historical skills, discovering cultural practices from countries and traditions different from their own.

Understanding the World

Expressive Arts and Disegno

Expressing the self in freedom

The Munari Art programme promotes creativity as a conscious process, grounded in exploration, experimentation and interaction with a wide range of materials.

Children are guided in the use of techniques and tools typical of design and visual art, developing sensory, compositional and narrative skills. Each activity is conceived as an open workshop where form, function and intuition are in constant dialogue.

The programme fosters critical thinking, powers of observation and expressive independence, encouraging every child to build a personal visual language and to engage with diverse artistic and design traditions on a global level.

Expressive Arts and Disegno

Maths

Developing reasoning skills

Children discover the role of mathematics in everyday life and develop their ability to count, understand and use numbers.

Through games and activities they are introduced to the language, thinking and mathematics they will need when they begin Primary School.

Physical Development

Promoting physical wellbeing

Children develop a positive attitude towards exercise through play, with plenty of opportunities to have fun, be active and build coordination and movement.

Music immersion

Music immersion

Children explore melodies that tell stories, depict animals and evoke objects, sparking creativity and imagination.

 

They learn to use their own bodies as instruments, from their voice to percussion, before moving on to real musical instruments, developing a sense of rhythm and musical ear through methods like Kodály.

 

Encounters with musicians and orchestras make the experience even more vivid, bringing the magic of live music to life.

The bilingual approach is seamlessly integrated into daily life, allowing children to develop strong and spontaneous language skills.
