Creche e Jardim de Infancia da Sismaria "OPinoquio
Creche e Jardim de Infância da Sismaria “O Pinóquio” is a non-profit nursery and preschool located
close to centre of the city (Leiria), in a somewhat urban location. Leiria is a beautiful city, close to the
central coastline (15 Km), rich in legends and traditions, with a medieval castle where an annual
medieval fair is held.“O Pinoquio” is a spacious school with 133 children from 4 months to 6 years of
age,organized in seven classrooms: four nursery classrooms (from 4 months to three years of age)
and three preschool and kindergarten classrooms. We are a 6 teacher team (early childhood
educators) with high-qualifications and experience and 10 teacher aids. We offer our students hand-
on pedagogically rich activities, English, music, sports classes, creative and judo.The school is
managed by a parents’ association, who deal and manage the government subsidies and parents'
tuitions and by our Social Security. In our school a variety of cultures can be found; apart from our
Portuguese students we have children with many backgrounds: Brazil, Russia and Ukraine.
Currently, our school has three children with special educational needs. “O Pinóquio” has
participated in three previous Comenius projects. All our work developed in previous projects will, for
sure, be relevant for this project. Our school develops projects with our city’s Polytechnic Schools
that allow our children to engage in differential activities which are most certainly useful and of
importance for this project. We are 6 teachers with a superior degree in Early Childhood Education.
One of our teachers has a Masters in artistic education.
