The large daycare centre in Risch-Rotkreuz
The kids & co Rotkreuz daycare centre is located at Lettenstrasse 8d, a short walk from the Roche building. Our nursery is easily accessible from Rotkreuz railway station by public transport or on foot. We offer professional and loving care for children from 3 months up to kindergarten age.
As at all kids & co locations, the individual needs of the children are the focus at the Rotkreuz daycare centre. Themed and project-based activities centre around joy, movement, play, fun, creativity, nature and imagination.
Thanks to its central location, the daycare centre is ideal for families who live or work in the municipality of Risch-Rotkreuz. The spacious, light-filled rooms, which offer plenty of space for playing, learning and discovering, are particularly appreciated.
