Centro pedagogico Il Cucciolo 0-6

Centro Pedagogico Il Cucciolo is an early childhood and family support organisation based in Genoa, Italy. Created to offer families a different kind of local service, it combines childcare with pedagogical support for people at every stage of life, from expectant families to adults over 99. Its centre helps families accompany and support the growth and development of their children.

The organisation operates two childcare services. Its nursery in Piazza della Vittoria is located in a 125-square-metre penthouse with a terrace and welcomes children aged three to 36 months. The service is accredited and affiliated with the Municipality of Genoa. A second nursery and preschool on Via Parini is set in a historic villa with a garden and terrace, serving children from three months to six years. Its educational projects include bilingualism, outdoor education and the Bortolato method.

Through its nurseries, preschool provision and broader pedagogical centre, Il Cucciolo offers families a range of support and learning opportunities focused on children’s growth.
