Scuola Materna (Preschool). Like the French Ecole Maternelle, the Scuole
Materna is the Italian preschool program serving children aged 3-6, under the
auspices of the Ministry of Education, financed largely by the national
government, free for the core school day and voluntary. About 96 percent of
the cohort is enrolled. The program began as in several other countries, more
than a century ago, as a private philanthropic activity carried out under religious
auspices. There was little further development before 1968, when national
legislation was enacted, assigning responsibility for the establishment of
preschools to the Ministry of Education. With national funding, the initial
priorities were for economically depressed areas and rapidly growing urban
areas; but the 1970s saw an explosion of provision along with an acceleration of
female labor force participation. The Materna are 10-month programs open
from about 8:30 am to 4:30, 5:00, or 6:00pm, depending on location and program.
One such program in Reggio Emilia is world renowned for its quality and
creativity.
