Agape was born from the need for his creators to respond to the needs of many families. A pool of women with different professional experiences of different areas, professionally active and at the same time compared with the joys and difficulties of life.

The thought and pedagogical identity of Agape are the result of a ten -year experience in the world of the school of founding members, have brought the educational contribution that today differentiates us in the realization of the activities proposed to children and in the internal training of staff.
