Opening of “Saint Francis and Saint Clare” Day Care Centre inside the Vatican walls
A facility at the service of families
In order to respond to the needs of Vatican employees, the Governorate of Vatican City State has promoted the opening of a day care centre, an educational and social service that will contribute to the integral formation of children, alongside families.
It is the first child care centre to be located inside the Vatican Walls. Opening next spring, the Centre will be able to accommodate 30 children, who will have the opportunity of growing, sharing and participating in activities in a structured environment, led by an educational team that will stimulate their knowledge, skills and autonomy, according to each stage of their development.
Entrusted to the protection of Saint Francis and Saint Clare, the Centre will be located in a building on Via San Luca and will welcome children between the ages of three months and three years. The Centre will be open between 7:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. and activities will be in both Italian and English.
