kids & co Rotkreuz

Our carefully designed facilities create a safe and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable, can move about freely, and enjoy discovering the world. Our garden also invites children to play and be active. Children aged 3 to 36 months are cared for together in mixed-age groups, and children 36 months and older attend preschool until they start kindergarten. Each child receives individualized attention from the team and support in their development. The children’s needs, interests, and well-being are always our top priority.

Children need physical activity—every day and in a wide variety of ways. We provide a wide range of opportunities for climbing, balancing, jumping, running, and experimenting. Once a week, we also spend time in the woods or outdoors. The children experience different materials, sounds, smells, and seasons with all their senses; they observe, collect, build, and discover. In this way, we naturally combine physical activity, experiences in nature, and children’s joy of discovery.

For about 90 minutes each day, the children can explore our diverse learning spaces and decide for themselves what interests them. Whether it’s exploration, creativity, role-playing, building, music, physical activity, or language—our age-appropriate activities invite them to discover, experiment, and learn. Our team closely guides the children, provides inspiration, and supports them in their individual development.

We observe, support, and guide the children as they develop. We document important developmental milestones and your child’s current needs, and use this information to plan future play activities. In their portfolios, we collect experiences and observations that the children can proudly take home with them when they leave the daycare center.

The children choose and prepare their own meals from a wide, healthy, and varied selection of options. The staff supports and guides them in a way appropriate for their age, helping them develop independence and a sense of autonomy. Of course, we take both cultural and medical dietary habits into account.

A variety of themed projects—tailored to the children’s ages, needs, and interests—stimulate their development and provide a varied and exciting daily routine. Whether it’s the seasons, light effects, forest animals, vehicles, colors, or even the kindergarten project—our dedicated team is always finding new ways to create interesting projects for the children. In the spring, our oldest children proudly take part in the kindergarten project; they are carefully prepared for their next transition so that they can get off to a good start!

Children bring with them different languages, experiences, strengths, and needs. For us, this diversity is a natural part of everyday life at the daycare center.
Children whose first language is not German can receive targeted support for their language development through the KiD program.
Children with special needs are also welcome here. Together with their parents, we carefully assess what each child needs for their well-being and development, and how we can provide appropriate support in the daycare setting.

Every day, English-speaking assistants work for several hours in the various groups. Following the immersion model, they speak only English with the children during daily care and also lead various activities in the groups.
