La Clessidra is an educational association in Vigonza, Italy, offering a welcoming space where children and young people can learn, play and express their creativity. Founded by Angela, whose background includes early childhood education and primary education, the association aims to provide a safe, supportive environment that respects each child’s individual needs and potential.

Its services include babysitting, private lessons tailored to individual students, and group lessons that encourage learning and collaboration. Seasonal summer and winter centres offer educational activities, games and creative workshops, while a structured programme from September to June supports children aged 18 months to six years through learning, play and emotional development. The association also offers kinesiology activities focused on movement, coordination and emotional wellbeing, as well as events and workshops.

La Clessidra draws on educational approaches associated with Montessori, Gardner and Dewey, using practical activities, play and exploration. It stays open during school holidays and until 7:30 p.m., giving families flexible support.
