Professional work with educational and learning narratives (BULG)

Fun-filled days in the great outdoors and the woods for children who love to explore
During our nature and forest days, we regularly explore, observe and investigate the area around the daycare centre in the neighbourhood as well as the forest. We place great emphasis on the children’s urge to move, their natural curiosity and the interactions they have as we explore together. Our exploration trips also encourage valuable social learning, as well as a mindful approach to and respect for nature.

Focus on Quality in Interaction
The Thurgau University of Teacher Education and the ZHAW regularly monitor and assess the quality of our childcare centres. In addition to creating a stimulating daily routine and environment with dedicated learning spaces, we focus on the interaction between carers and children. Our caring support and professional guidance in children’s development are what set us apart.

Ongoing professional development for teams and staff

We place great importance on ensuring development at all levels and provide both internal and external training, as well as process support for nursery teams.
