About

Trilingual Education

Language is the most important human communication tool used to express ones thoughts, information, desires and feelings. We are aware that children, who grow up in a language enriched environment, can better use these abilities later. A main focus in our educational concept is the trilingual education at our Dayschool. In each group, all three languages are represented by a diffrent educator. The educators accompany, support and encourage the children in their everyday activities while speaking their mother tongue. Through play and interactions with one another, our children can inderectly learn German, English and French while coming in contact with other cultures which then prepares them for globalization.

Loving & Professional Care

Our educators care for the children in a loving and professional way. Our team is educated and experienced to support our children socially, emotionally, motorically and academically. Click on the link Pädagogische Grundsätze/Pedagogical Principles for our 5 Pedagogical Principles.

Early Education

Children are little miracles. Through their natural curiosity they learn new things with joy and ease. The Dayschool recognizes this potential and therefore promotes and encourages the children and their interests through a playful exposure to music, arts, sport and mathematics.

Exploring Nature

At the Dayschool we bring our children outside every day and in any type fo weather. We have a small garden and there are various playgrounds nearby where the children can satisfy their natural desire to move. Running, jumping, balancing and climbing not only strengthen their gross motor skills but physical activities also has a positive effect on language development.

Discovering and exploring nature with all their senses is something that we emphasize and what better place to do so than in the forest! Regular visits to the forest enable our children to learn how to care for nature and our environment. Besides, playing in the forest offerst endless possibilities for play.

Multicultural Daycare

Healthy eating

The Dayschool offers healthy, well-balanced and child friendly meals which are prepared daily on-site by our chef. We find it important to create a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere during mealtimes and encourage our children to try new things.

Settling-in

The Dayschool has a two week "settling-in". This period is based on the Berliner Familiarization Model. You and your child will be accompanied and guided by one educator to get accustomed to the Dayschool and our daycare environment. We gradually increase the lenght of time of your child´s visit thoughout the two weeks.

Working with Parents

Parents are a very important factor in working with our children. We believe that a good relationship between parents and the educators has a positive effect on the welfare of the child. We therefore strive to establish a good foundation of trust. Children enrolled 5 days/week receive an annual photo-book with memories from throughout the year.

Full Day Care

The Dayschool offers full day care from 7:00am until 6:30pm. At both Zürich and Meilen locations we can organize a Late Care from 6:30-8:00pm for an additional cost if needed.
