Our quality labels

The quality of the relationships and interactions between children and adults, as well as between the children themselves, proves to be the key to well-being and high educational quality. In childcare, we place great importance on resource-oriented emotional support as well as active learning guidance for the children. Each year, PH Thurgau examines this aspect in our daycare centers. We then assess the findings and, in collaboration with the daycare team, determine the next steps for further development. All our staff members receive training in interaction quality.

Movement and nutrition are important pillars of health promotion and central themes in the daily life of our kids & co operations. This label shows that we support the children’s diverse movement and perception experiences, accompanying them in their motor, cognitive, linguistic, and social development, as well as in the development of their perception.

"BULG" is a resource-oriented observation and documentation tool for children's abilities and learning progress. Through our regular observation, analysis, and exchange, we get to know the abilities and current interests of each child and derive the next steps for accompanying them in the learning and development process. These learning processes are documented in the form of learning stories and portfolios.

With the BULG methodology, daycare centers make an important contribution to the implementation of the "Framework for Early Childhood Education, Care, and Teaching in Switzerland" (Wustmann & Simoni, 2012). The process plays a crucial role in the quality development of early childhood education institutions and is suitable for early "educational work."

To promote quality development, the Social Department of the City of Zurich supports training and process guidance in quality development through the ZHAW (Zurich University of Applied Sciences) in cooperation with the OST (Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences) in the form of an external quality expertise office commissioned by the Social Department. If the daycare center meets the requirements for quality management in practice, a certificate is issued.
