Stella Mission, formerly Nido d'Ape, is an educational and social project in Rome for children aged 1-6 and their families. Evolving from a small daycare, it now serves 85 children in Monte Mario/Pineta Sacchetti, offering affordable early education and parental support. With free or reduced-cost spots, it ensures inclusion and stability, helping vulnerable families while providing a nurturing, diverse learning environment.
The area around Stella Mission faces economic and social challenges, with many immigrant families, single parents, and low-income households. Job instability and lack of support lead to isolation and limited access to education and childcare, affecting children's development. Stella Mission works to break this cycle by providing a safe, supportive space where both children and parents can thrive.

Key activities include: Full-day childcare (ages 1-6) to help parents work or seek jobs; Language training, parenting support, and socio-economic reintegration for families; Professional development for educators; Community-building activities to foster belonging; Targeted support for vulnerable families facing challenges.
Stella Mission transforms lives through inclusion, education, and support.
