The AGAPE Association was founded in October 2003 and has developed a variety of offerings and services over time, all designed exclusively to meet the needs and requests of the local area.

The philosophy that distinguishes us translates into ACTION , we pay constant ATTENTION to general changes, we REFLECT and operate with FLEXIBILITY , we respond to requests TIMELY , we find SOLUTIONS that are functional, sustainable and above all respectful of our little "clients", we SUPPORT families and CREATE synergies with the Municipal and Cantonal authorities who support and accompany us in this work.

AGAPE was born from the need of its creators to meet the needs of many families. A group of women with diverse professional experiences in different fields, active in their professions and simultaneously confronting the joys and challenges of life.

AGAPE's thinking and pedagogical identity are the fruit of its founding members' decades of experience in the school world. They have provided the educational contribution that today sets us apart in the implementation of activities offered to children and in the internal training of staff.

AGAPE has its own pedagogical identity, inspired by the philosophical foundations of Rudolf Steiner and including the most well-known and recent methodological theories of pedagogical action, translating them into intervention strategies targeted and individualized to the individual and the situation.

Over the years, the Association has built several facilities in the Lugano region, launched several projects, collaborated with national and cantonal organizations, collaborated on feasibility studies, participated in working groups on family policies within various cantonal and federal organizations, and actively contributed to the development of professional training at various levels.
