If parents desire so, they can become an integral part of the everyday environment. This allows SopraSotto to attend not only to the child's need for growth and autonomy but also to parents' feelings about separation and their need to meet other people who are going through a similar experience. For example, if parents want to continue breastfeeding during the day or if they have time to develop a specific pedagogical thematic path in agreement with the group, SopraSotto gives them the possibility to do so. -## Embeddedness in The Neighbourhood +## Embeddedness in the neighbourhood SopraSotto is collaborating closely with the associations and informal groups in the neighbourhood. For example, the communal garden "Isola Pepe Verde" hosts the lab during the summer, offering a play area and some contact with plants and nature, while the local GAS (Solidarity Purchase Group) network provides the first seasonal food products that the parents cook and the teachers give out to children. In addition, in a typical workshop day, kids make the trips to the market, to the library and to the craft shops. -## Food as Education +## Food as education Food is considered an important element in children's education. From the selection of groceries to food preparation, parents build on each other's knowledge to enable the children to acquire a first-hand, lived and healthy relationship with food. SopraSotto chooses seasonal produce, cultivated locally, and it embraces a food philosophy that focuses not only on nourishment but also food culture.
