Good Practices - Latina
At the end of 80’s, thanks to the innovative experiences and
experimentation for Childhood Education carried out in Italy
since 1900's (just think of the experiences of Maria Montessori
and Agazzi sisters), the Ministry of Education of Italy, was
enacting new legislation with an innovative design for
pedagogical education with children aged 3-6 years, to
transform the "Nursery Schools" in "Infancy Schools", with
the aim of institutional quality in childhood education in
Italy.
For that event, from 20 to 22 April 1989, the Educational
Direction of the 2nd circle of Aprilia (LT) organized a
National Conference on "The Nursery School: a place for
living and learning" to Aprilia (LT), which was joined and
participated by the Ministry of Education of Italy and Experts
from all parts of Italy.
From that meeting began a close and fruitful collaboration
between Fausto Presutti (I.S.P.E.F. President) and Rita Leli
(director of the 2nd Learning Circle of Aprilia and promoter
of innovative experimentation in the area) thanks to the
Ministry of Education and the local education authority of
Latina approvation (Law 270/82 and subsequent DI 129 of
1995) for six years from 1991 to 1997 of a project for the
creation of a Consulting, Documentation and
Experimentation Centre District, as psycho-pedagogical and
the educational help and formative assessment in infancy
schools on logic and mathematics themes.
