Nursery and Kindergarten

Hello everyone, i’m Antonietta, the Early Years Coordinator at Benedetto XV International School. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Childhood and Adolescent Sciences as well as a Master’s degree in Professional and Continuing Education from the University of Salerno. Throughout my academic journey, I’ve gained valuable pedagogical and psychological skills that have prepared me to excel in my role. What truly drives me is my unwavering passion for working in this dynamic and fulfilling environment.

My journey with children began in my teenage years when I enthusiastically took part in volunteer summer camps and activity centers. After completing my studies, I had the opportunity to work in various early childhood schools, engaging with children of different age groups. I am also certified in first aid, including pediatric choking relief procedures, and I have completed the BLSD (Basic Life Support and Defibrillation) course.

Working with children brings me immense joy and satisfaction. Witnessing their growth and development is a constant source of inspiration and personal enrichment.

I am thrilled to be part of Benedetto XV International School, where I am contributing to the comprehensive and holistic education of our young learners.

My name is Nishani, and I am a dedicated early childhood educator from Sri Lanka. I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of the Benedetto XV family. Teaching is not just my profession—it’s my true passion—and I bring a strong sense of creativity to everything I do.

Over the years, I have taught languages, art, and music to children of various age groups in Sri Lanka, continuously refining my skills and gaining valuable experience in these areas.

To further enhance my teaching abilities and create meaningful learning environments, I have earned certifications in Montessori education, as well as in personal care and etiquette. These qualifications have been instrumental in helping me coordinate my work effectively and ensure that my career remains both fulfilling and enjoyable.

I am thrilled to contribute my experience to the Benedetto XV International School community and to provide young learners with a rich and inspiring educational journey.

Hello, i’m Ms. Maryna, and it’s truly an honor to be part of the Benedetto XV International School community since 2018. With 12 years of experience in language education, I’ve spent the past six years working as a Reception class teacher. My academic background is in English language and literature, and my personal journey as a mother has continuously inspired my passion for working with young children.

Throughout my career, I’ve actively sought to develop my skills by attending various training courses, including CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), Yoga for Children, and English for Young Learners. My personal motto is “Never stop learning!”—because I believe that continuous growth and learning are essential to providing the best possible education for my students.

I feel incredibly fortunate to teach in such an exceptional and nurturing environment, where children are always the priority. The school’s emphasis on creating a loving and supportive atmosphere perfectly aligns with my own teaching philosophy. Outside the classroom, I enjoy sharing my love for water sports and outdoor activities with my family and friends.

Hello, i’m Ms. Indra, the lead teacher for the youngest group at Benedetto XV International School. From the very beginning, I’ve been a proud member of this remarkable project and its dedicated team. Although I’m originally from Australia, I’ve spent my entire life in Italy, attending both international and Italian schools throughout my education. This unique background has given me a deep appreciation and understanding of both cultures.

With over 16 years of teaching experience, I’ve worked in various educational settings, including language schools, middle schools, and high schools. Teaching has always been my true passion, and I specifically chose to work with young children. To strengthen my teaching practice, I’ve completed training in educational methods such as Montessori and Feuerstein, which help me create an engaging and effective learning environment for little learners.

My love for young children shines through my joyful and enthusiastic personality. I strive to build a special connection with each child in my class, fostering a nurturing and inclusive atmosphere. As a mother of two daughters in elementary and middle school, I also understand the experiences and challenges faced by both children and parents.

Outside the classroom, I have a deep love for animals and a strong passion for horseback riding and skiing. These interests, combined with my dedication to teaching, shape the educator I am today. My ultimate goal is not only to educate children through fun and play, but also to help them grow into kind, responsible individuals who will make a positive impact on the world of tomorrow.

Hello, i’m Ms. Tina, originally from London, England. As a certified language teacher, I’ve had the privilege of teaching in both primary and secondary schools here in Italy. For the past 10 years, I’ve been dedicated to early childhood education in the beautiful region of the Castelli Romani. I’m also a proud mother of twin children who are currently attending middle school.

Teaching young children is my true passion, and I find great joy in supporting their development and nurturing a love of learning. I believe in creating a warm and inclusive classroom environment where children feel supported and encouraged to explore their interests and discover their unique talents. By using engaging and interactive teaching methods, I strive to make each lesson both fun and meaningful for my students.

Outside the classroom, I’m an enthusiastic traveler who loves exploring different cultures and seeking new adventures around the world. Through my travels, I gain a broader perspective and constantly look for opportunities to enrich my teaching practices with diverse cultural influences.

I was born and raised in Italy, where I spent the early years of my life until 2000. However, my journey eventually led me to the United Kingdom, specifically London, where I lived for a year before settling in Ireland. It was in Ireland that I had the opportunity to further pursue my education and personal growth.

In 2006, I enrolled at the acclaimed Portobello Institute in Dublin. There, I immersed myself in the field of early childhood education, with a specific focus on the Montessori method. After dedicated study and hands-on experience, I proudly earned my diploma as a certified Montessori teacher in 2008.

Living in both the UK and Ireland provided me with invaluable personal and professional experiences that have helped shape me into the teacher I am today. I’ve devoted my career to working with preschool-aged children, supporting their development and guiding them through their educational journey.

After several years as a kindergarten teacher in an international school in Rome, I made the exciting transition to Benedetto XV International School in 2017. Since then, I have been teaching first grade, nurturing young minds and helping them develop a love for learning.

In my free time, I find great joy in cooking. Exploring various culinary creations allows me to express my creativity and passion for the culinary arts. Cooking is my way to relax and find inspiration, which in turn positively influences my teaching approach.

Hi, I’m Noemi, a nursery school teacher dedicated to the early childhood section of the Benedetto XV international school, with 15 years of experience in the sector. I graduated and have participated, obtaining several certificates, in numerous training courses for nursery school teachers. In my work, I focus on creating a welcoming and stimulating educational environment for children. I plan educational activities that promote the cognitive, emotional and social development of children. I am convinced that the education of preschool children should be based on curiosity, creativity and discovery.

Therefore, I create an environment that encourages children to explore, experiment and learn through play. I believe that the relationship created with each child is an exchange of experiences from which I never stop learning. It is a job full of challenges but emotionally rewarding. I consider myself very lucky to be able to do this job. I have first aid and pediatric disobstruction maneuvers certifications.
