Nursery school and other services

The university has a nursery school on the Leonardo Campus at 17 Via Valvassori Peroni (with capacity for 25 children aged between 3 months and 3 years) and a micro-nursery on the Bovisa Campus at 72 Via Candiani (with capacity for 10 children aged between 3 months and 3 years).

On the basis of the number of girls and boys enrolled, the nursery school is divided into two sections: the "small sections", which welcome girls and boys from 3 to 15 months; the "medium/large sections", which welcome girls and boys from 16 to 36 months.

The nurseries are open for 11 months, from September to July, with the additional option of a pre-maternity service upon request.

You can visit the the nurseries by appointment by calling 02 2399 2146 (Leonardo nursery) or 02 2399 5724 (Bovisa nursery).
