Kindergarten / pre-kindergarten

Our highly-qualified employees look after children until they start primary school.

The children attend the kindergarten from 8.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. Monday to Friday. It is closed on Wednesdays. On these days, and when the kindergarten is closed, the children can take part in our crèche programme from 7.00 a.m. to 6.30 p.m. Our crèche programme also runs during the school holidays and consists of all-day childcare with a programme of activities and fresh organic food.

The concept of the Ameisenburg kindergarten is based on the curriculum of the canton of Zurich. This ensures that the subsequent transition to primary school is a smooth one and that the kindergarten prepares the children exceptionally well.

Our aim is to support every single child in their natural curiosity, their thirst for knowledge, their willingness to experiment and their constant energy. We make learning fun for the children, and encourage the development of their personality and positive characteristics.

Our work is based on: 
• The curriculum of the canton of Zurich
• Elements of kindergartens with an international outlook
• Lessons conducted in: German / English
