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 offer healthy and balanced meals prepared directly in our internal kitchens made with fresh organic ingredients.
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 have an internal car park at the complete disposal of our parents.
La Giocomotiva di via Grottarossa 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.
La Giocomotiva di via Grottarossa is located in the Cassia – Tomb of Nero nearea within the Veio Park. You can reach us:
– By bus lines 029 and 301

The bilingual preschool school La Giocomotiva di via Grottarossa obtained in 2021 the recognition of the parity status from the MIUR and is to all intents and purposes integrated into the national education service. It is aligned with the training courses consistent with both the Italian legal system, “New Guidelines for the Nursery School of the Ministry of Public Education (Experience Fields)” and with the UK Anglo-Saxon one “Early years foundation stage statutory framework (EYFS)”. The relational environment is characterized by attention, care, affection, respect, and support for each individual child. We are attentive to valuing individual differences and the development of a culture of cooperation between different children. The didactic approach welcomes multiple languages, and various points of view and proposes rich and creative learning experiences (Workshop), the educator stands alongside the children in their journey of understanding and knowledge, preparing the learning context and welcomes the re-launch of the children (Reggio Emilia Approach).

La Giocomotiva di via Grottarossa for 0-6 year olds. Their work is inspired by the same pedagogical approaches and is carried out in an integrated way both at the nursery school and at the kindergarten. Periodically we carry out joint educational activities between the nursery and preschool sections, as well as meetings of sharing of didactic/project work among all the educational staff of the school. Generally, towards the end of the school year, the grown-up section of the nursery school gradually begins to familiarize itself with the environments, spaces and teachers of the kindergarten thus favoring their acclimatization. The didactic and pedagogical integration allows you to follow, in a more accurate and careful way, the cognitive, emotional, affective and relational development of each child and guarantees equal development opportunities.
We give importance to the quality of food, we follow the seasons and vary the menu in order to stimulate in children the curiosity about new flavors, with one balanced diet plan and special menus in case of particular needs of allergies. At mealtimes, a buffet offers children the opportunity to freely explore the world of food, to develop curiosity about different foods and flavors, to experience the pleasure of social and emotional sharing of such an important moment.
Our preschool has started a project called elimination of plastic 360°: plastic games and educational materials have been replaced over time with natural materials, favoring the wood not loose parts (unstructured natural materials). During meals, we use ceramic plates, glass glasses and jugs and steel cutlery. In the choice of suppliers we have favored those at KM 0 and fruit, vegetables and meat are supplied by local shopkeepers. The external environment of the school has been redesigned according to the introduction of the approach Outdoor Education. The garden has become a real classroom, a natural environment that children learn to know and respect by developing the feeling of affinity that binds them to nature (biophilia), for an education in respect for the environment and its sustainability.
We actively cooperate with the School of Specialization in Health Psychology (Sapienza, University of Rome) for the elaboration of an appropriate Life Skills approach for the nursery
school as well as with the Association With You which promotes services to parents, unborn children and infants. We also organize during the year Thematic seminars useful to parents and professionals in the sector.
