A new mini-club for children aged 3 to 5 has opened at the Vatican's Lagazzi Estate.

The Mini Club for children 3-5 years of age (and in that sense, who have completed the 3 years of their age up to 5 years and are attending nursery school) is a new project included in the 2026 edition of Estate Ragazzi in Vaticano, proposed expressly for all employee families working with the Holy See and the Governorate of Vatican City State. Children so young will be allowed to savor summer from June 29 to July 31 in a playful yet didactic way through activities befitting their very own sheltered yet challenging premises under vigilant guidance by competent personnel.Educational activities originally designed for older kids will also inspire those planned for the Mini Club but reorganized to fit into the specific level of younger kids. It will comprise activities that can be easily done by them and interesting at their stage of development. The Mini Club Area shall be located in a separate and exclusive part of the Paul VI Hall, which is organized particularly for younger children to stay in a peaceful, orderly, secure setup. It will consciously take the form of creating the functionality and safety of their setting needs so that activities happen in tranquility and safety. It will have supervised zones, furniture for children, and certified material suitable for early childhood development.
