The village’s Parish in Acquaformosa welcomes in its premises the Equal Nursery School, attended by all the children of the country.

The primary kindergarten aims to offer a school and educational service that lays the foundations for the training of the men and women of the future. It also plays a role of help and childcare, especially for those working parents, ensuring a safe and welcoming place where you can carry out school and recreational activities in total harmony and fun. There are several proposals, besides the ministerial educational programs, that stimulate and involve children in learning, to relate to others and be sensitized in their personal and social growth.

The school has a canteen service with food plans suitable for every need, both purely food, but also cultural and religious, just to meet all the different needs and be inclusive.
