ACTIVITIES AND THE NURSERY ENVIRONMENT One part of the activity of the Nursery is the exploration of the natural artistic sensibility of the child, encouraging by simple and spontaneous methods creativity and manual dexterity, experiences of significant importance in the cognitive and emotional development of early childhood. The Mirò and Matisse classrooms are decorated with reproductions of the artists’ paintings. The spatial organization of the classroom is very important for the cognitive and gross motor skills development of the child. Thus the classrooms are organized into distinct structured environments (Soft Toys Corner, Construction Corner, Kitchen and Dress-Up Space, Animal Corner, Discovery Toys Space, Pouring Activities) where the toys are within reach of the children, so that they may freely choose their activities and their playmates. To encourage a restful, peaceful, pleasing and non-artificial environment, natural colours and materials have been privileged, eliminating plastic from the interior spaces and exterior play areas, as much as possible. THE CHILD TOWARDS AUTONOMY The educative purpose of the adult is not so much the transmission of ‘teaching’ as pre-conceived content, but rather to help children organise their experiences with richness and variety. The journey of growth and increased autonomy for a child begins in Nursery School, a journey which continues into the Pre-School and Elementary School years. Autonomy is not an objective which is reached immediately but rather a capacity which is acquired gradually, in the maturity of the child of today who will be the student of tomorrow.One part of the activity of the Nursery is the exploration of the natural artistic sensibility of the child, encouraging by simple and spontaneous methods creativity and manual dexterity, experiences of significant importance in the cognitive and emotional development of early childhood.
