LPSI

La Piccola Scuola Italiana di San Francisco


Overview

LPSI currently operates in the newly-renovated annex of St. Gregory of Nyssa Episcopal Church. We are a licensed Childcare center under California Title 22 rules and regulations.

Our schedule is comprised of 10-week sessions in which children may attend a maximum of 12 hours per week. Sessions are conducted entirely in Italian, though no child is ever forced to speak Italian. Our programs give children the opportunity to explore Italian language and culture through traditional Italian songs, food, dance, literature, arts & crafts, and play. Children are grouped by age, with each group's curriculum designed to accommodate the particular developmental stages presented by each age-group.
