Lonato del Garda moves forward with the reopening of its municipal nursery, the “Don Giorgio Tosi” daycare, entrusting the 2026-2031 service management to Società Cooperativa La Sorgente. The municipality also outlined the operating schedule and the support measures available to families.
The nursery will host up to **45 children aged 6 to 36 months**, with priority for local residents; capacity may be increased by **20%** under regional rules. The facility will operate Monday to Friday from **7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.**, offering full-time, morning part-time, and afternoon part-time options, plus an extended “post-nursery” service until **6:30 p.m.** to help with work-life balance. Fees and enrollment procedures are handled by La Sorgente, while families may access reductions through municipal contributions, **INPS Bonus**, and the regional measure **“Misura regionale Nidi Gratis Plus.”** For ISEE between **0 and 20,000 euros**, families can receive the municipal contribution and qualify for the full fee waiver; for ISEE between **20,000.01 and 25,000 euros**, the monthly reduction is **100 euros**. Applications must be submitted by **September 25, 2026** to the Social Services Office, following the public notice published by the Comune di Lonato del Garda.
The nursery’s name honors **Don Giorgio Tosi**, recognized by municipal resolution **No. 104** for his pastoral and educational work in Lonato from 1983 to 1996. He died in 2000 while providing help after a road accident, and is remembered for activities including after-school programs, afternoon initiatives, summer camps, and sports events.
