The first outdoor Experimental Educational Play Space in Labico
An innovative project for growing up in contact with nature
Big news for the Municipality of Labico, which once again confirms its excellence in early childhood services.
The first school year 2024/2025 has been authorized Outdoor Experimental Educational Play Space, an innovative project designed to offer children an immersive educational experience in nature.
The project was born from a co-design between cooperatives, associations, and local educational institutions that provide childcare services in one of Lazio's youngest municipalities.
Growing through nature
Outdoor education is an educational approach that recognizes the outdoor environment as the privileged place for children's development.
The proposed activities are based on:
- Direct experiences
- Creativity
- Multisensoriality
- Movement
- Spontaneous exploration
In nature, children have authentic experiences that involve all their senses:
- View
- Hearing
- Touch
- Taste
- Smell
Natural stimuli, on the other hand, promote:
- Ccuriosity
- Creativity
- Physical development
- Cognitive development
- Autonomy
- Socialization
- Active participation
The natural environment thus becomes a dynamic educational space, capable of accompanying the child in his growth in a harmonious and spontaneous way.
A service dedicated to the little ones
The play area is an experimental service integrated into the nursery Fantasylandia and welcomes children from 3 months to 36 months
Service hours:
8.00-13.00
Local families have enthusiastically welcomed this important educational innovation, designed to offer children a daily experience in close contact with nature, respecting their time, needs, and learning styles.
Educational objectives
The outdoor play area helps the child to:
- develop autonomy and security
- freely explore the environment
- strengthen relational skills
- live authentic sensory experiences

- grow up in a peaceful and stimulating environment
An innovative project where education, nature, and well-being meet every day.
