Experiencing, creating, singing, playing, and learning to share and live together. There are many valuable elements to learn from childhood. pop e poppa offers high-quality education, activities and services – such as living ecologically and a balanced diet – to support the development of the children. Experts in their field, our childhood professionals play a vital role. Representing a quarter of the workforce, they are continuously trained to the latest educational standards.
