Childcare with a future – loving care in the Binzallee neighbourhood
The daycare centre kids & co Binzallee is located in the quiet and easily accessible neighbourhood of Binzallee in 8055 Zurich, in the heart of the lively Kreis 3 district. Our crèche offers children from 3 months to kindergarten age a safe environment in which to discover, play and grow – in small groups, with lots of attention and educational sensitivity.
Here, children can expect modern, light-filled rooms, a child-friendly infrastructure and a natural environment – perfect for contemporary, high-quality childcare in Zurich.
The daycare centre on Binzallee is located in the Binz district, close to the Zurich Binz S-Bahn station and near Manegg and Uetliberg. It is also easily accessible from other parts of the city such as Wiedikon, Albisrieden, Leimbach and Enge via tram lines 5, 13 and 17.
As at all kids & co locations, the individual needs of the children are the focus at the Binzallee nursery. Themed and project-based work focuses on joy, movement, play, fun, creativity, nature and imagination. The daycare centre works with portfolios, which means that the children are individually supported and encouraged in their development.
Our daycare centre is an attractive choice for parents from Zurich-Binz, Wiedikon, Sihlcity and the surrounding area – now and in the future.
