Luisella Postiglione<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cHello everyone, I\u2019m Maestra Luisella.
\nMy background in engineering has endowed me with logic and creative skills that I now apply to pedagogy. Around fifteen years ago, I discovered my true vocation in education, embracing Montessori pedagogy and Outdoor Education. I am currently pursuing a master\u2019s in Clinical Pedagogy to better support each child\u2019s development. Outside school, I consider nature as a true open-air classroom: whether hiking or tending my vegetable garden, every outdoor experience confirms my belief in hands-on learning. I believe learning should be enjoyable, stimulating, and respectful of each child\u2019s pace, allowing them to express their talent in a supportive environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
