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).

Additional places are also available at the affiliated nursery “Il Bello dei Bimbi”, a private micro-nursery located at 56 Via Pascoli. To visit the nursery write to equalopportunities@polimi.it.
