-

Yes, we have a waiting list. Children of employees at member companies receive priority access to a spot. Is your employer a member, or would you like them to become one?
-
How does the adjustment period work?
We follow the Berlin model, which means that at first, the child attends the daycare center accompanied by a familiar caregiver. This allows the child to explore their new environment and get to know the teachers at their own pace. In the second phase, the duration of the adjustment period is gradually extended, and the caregiver gradually steps back until the child has established a trusting relationship with the educators and feels comfortable with the daily routine at the daycare. This process generally takes about two weeks.
-
How does communication between the daycare center and the parents work?
At our center, we strive to make communication with parents personal, transparent, and straightforward. We encourage daily interactions with the teaching staff so you can share in the experiences your child is having. In addition, you’ll receive our monthly newsletter, which provides an overview of life at the daycare, the topics we’re covering, and upcoming activities. This way, you’re always well-informed.
