This is what it's all about.
A Nest to Grow Together: Our Project Hello! My name is Lucia, I’m 26 years old, and I live in Ticino. My dream is to open a welcoming and innovative nursery in the heart of Ticino, called A Nest to Grow Together. This project stems from the desire to create a safe and stimulating place where children can learn, play, and grow, supported by a team of qualified educators and a loving environment.
During my internships in various nurseries, I discovered how extraordinary it is to work with children: their purity, honesty, and spontaneity deeply inspired me. I believe that children’s innocence is the fertile ground for the most genuine emotions, which led me to dedicate my life to creating a place where they feel welcomed and valued. I have chosen to be inspired by the principles of Montessori education, which place the child at the center of the educational process, promoting autonomy, creativity, and a love for discovery.
Our Goal The nursery will be designed to meet the needs of modern families, offering:
A safe and stimulating place: Welcoming, child-friendly spaces designed for play, learning, and rest. Quality education: Educational programs based on innovative and scientifically validated methods that foster creativity, discovery, and personal development. Inclusivity: A service accessible to all families, regardless of their economic situation. Support for families: Flexible hours and a professional environment that provides peace of mind for working parents. What We Plan to Do To bring this vision to life, we plan to:
Create welcoming and stimulating spaces with areas dedicated to play, learning, and rest. Offer educational and recreational activities based on Montessori principles, which promote the social, emotional, and cognitive development of children. Collaborate with families and the community to build a service that meets local needs and becomes a point of reference for the region.
My project is special because ...
Why Our Project is Special Our nursery is not just a place for children to stay; it is a cornerstone for the community. It is a project created by people, for people, with the aim of offering much more than just a service: an innovative and inclusive educational experience that enhances the well-being of children and their families.
Community at the Center: We actively involve parents, educators, and supporters to create an environment where every child feels loved, protected, and valued. Inclusivity: We believe every family, regardless of their economic or social situation, deserves fair access to high-quality educational services. Educational Innovation: We incorporate modern pedagogical approaches, based on scientifically validated methods, to foster children’s emotional, social, and cognitive development. A Sustainable Project: We are committed to using eco-friendly materials and promoting values of sustainability and respect for the environment. Why It’s Important to Make It Happen In Ticino, many families struggle to balance work and private life due to a lack of adequate childcare services. Establishing this nursery means:
Supporting Working Parents: By creating a safe and reliable environment, we enable parents to work peacefully, knowing their children are in good hands. Promoting Harmonious Development: We offer children a place to grow in a healthy and happy way, acquiring essential skills for their future. Fulfilling a Local Need: We address a concrete need in the community, improving the quality of life for families. Generating Positive Impact: A well-organized nursery is not just a service but an investment in the future because today’s children are tomorrow’s adults.
This is what I need backing for.
