Nido Scuola Clorofilla

What Nido Scuola Clorofilla does

Nido Scuola Clorofilla is a private bilingual nursery school and kindergarten located in central Milan, Italy, operating under the legal entity Dagù S.r.l. The school delivers full-day and part-day early childhood education for children aged 6 months to 6 years, organized into Nido (0-3 years) and Scuola dell'Infanzia (3-6 years) sections. Its core pedagogical framework is the Reggio Emilia Approach, delivered in partnership with Reggio Children, which sets the curriculum and provides ongoing educator training. The facility occupies a heritage 1892 building near Corso Genova with a 'village' layout including a covered piazza, classrooms, a raised educational garden with vegetable gardens and hydroponic greenhouse, and an on-site kitchen, supplemented by a separate Piscina Clorofilla aquatic facility with a 32°C heated pool.

The business model combines recurring tuition from core childcare services with multiple add-on revenue streams: afternoon/evening extracurricular courses (dance, music, judo, English, theater, multisport), aquatic programs (infant through adult and prenatal), a seasonal Summer Camp (ages 3-7), parent education workshops, and a professional pedagogical training program for external educators delivered with Reggio Children. Pricing for extracurricular courses is publicly disclosed (€280-€600 per season); core school fees are not. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the bilingual website (Italian/English), organic social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), and community referrals, with an enrollment flow of information request, interview booking, and fees discussion. The school employs 18 staff across pedagogical, atelier (expressive arts, water, taste), administrative, HR, and family-liaison functions, with a leadership team led by founder Giovanna Gulli. Geographic scope is a single market (Milan, Lombardy) with no disclosed plans for geographic expansion.
