We use a full immersion approach in which exposure to the English language is exclusive and occurs both in routine moments and during project work.
We provide an equipped outdoor area where children can play outdoors even after school hours, sharing pleasant convivial breaks with their peers and parents.
We give children the opportunity to continue to experience the school space together with their classmates and educators even during the summer months.
We support children's natural curiosity and creativity by offering a wide range of extra-curricular activity workshops.
La Giocomotiva Canadian Island di via Gioberti offers a welcoming environment where children can grow with confidence while developing their skills and talents based on the Theory of Multiple Intelligences.
Since 2021, we have been a part of the People&Baby group, which has found in La Giocomotiva a model to follow and to propose to all future Italian schools joining the group.
For over twenty years, La Giocomotiva has believed in the importance of stimulating and observing children through linguistic, musical, logical-mathematical, spatial, body-kinesthetic, intrapersonal, interpersonal, naturalistic, and existential intelligence.
The nursery La Giocomotiva Canadian Island is located in via Gioberti, between Piazza Alberti and Piazza Beccaria. You can reach us:
• by bus lines 3, 6 and 14

La Giocomotiva Canadian Island di via Gioberti was the first bilingual school in Florence and since 1996 it has welcomed thousands of children at its nursery and its camps, becoming a leader in teaching English in Tuscany to all ages.
The La Giocomotiva Canadian Island Nursery di via Gioberti is made up of a team of highly qualified native English-speaking educators with years of experience in early childhood education, focusing on starting children on their first steps towards a universal culture.
Our “Education in harmony with life” educational program is designed to meet the personal needs of each child, ensuring their personal growth. Laboratories, educational activities developed with interactive stories, songs and role-playing are just some of the elements that the child faces to start expressing themselves in a different language.
We use a certified and qualified catering service that provide fresh meals every day with organic and local products, creating menus in accordance with the ASL standards and season. The presence of family is fundamental, for this reason during the school year we organize a series of events to involve parents in their children’s school life.
La Giocomotiva Canadian Island di via Gioberti offers English courses for children and young people, divided by age, from 3 to 18 years, combining various methodologies to create a unique program. Our courses put conversation and shared interests (music, art, theater and more…) at the center of learning, key elements of our unique method that not only teaches them English, but also to “live in English.”
In the summer, La Giocomotiva Canadian Island di via Gioberti gives children and young people, ages 3 to 16 years old, the opportunity to develop autonomy, friendship, courage, and self-confidence during our summer camps. Our summer camps in Tuscany, will create an unforgettable experience and a unique opportunity to learn
