Our Values and Philosophy
YOUR SECOND FAMILY
We believe that the right attitude from our staff and the lowest possible staff turnover are essential, as this is the only way for the children to develop a close relationship with their caregivers.
HEALTHY FOOD
We deliberately do not have any catering. Our chefs plan the menus, do the grocery shopping, and prepare the food, freshly every day, including baby food.
LEARNING WITHOUT PRESSURE TO PERFORM
Children learn in a fun and playful way and
receive individual encouragement.
Kids' mini-meditation, experiments & projects
and fine motor skills are also on our agenda.
We work with portfolios and hold regular
progress reviews.
Every Friday is prekindergarten.
ALL INCLUSIVE
With the exception of a bottle for water and milk powder you do not need to bring anything. We have everything else ready for your little one (food, fruit, toiletries, diapers, tooth brush, sun cream, etc.).
We always put the child's well-being first and only use high-quality products.
GERMAN-ENGLISH
The main language at KITA BÄRLIS is German/Swiss German. VILLA BÄRLIS Im Eisernen Zeit 31 is bilingual German-English.
Children learn foreign languages through play.
PROMOTING
CREATIVITY
Music lessons also take place every week.
The older children can enjoy hip hop, ballet or private piano lessons.
DAILY OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES
We go to the gym and to swimming lessons every week.
Once a week is our traditional "World Explorer Day", when we spend the whole day out and about.
HOMELY AND COZY
We have lovingly renovated rooms.
Our garden playground (over 250 square meters at each location) invites children to play and picnic.
Parents have exclusive parking spaces in front of the daycare center for drop-off and pick-up.
The nearest public transportation stop is in the immediate vicinity.
FOREST AND NATURE GROUP
We have our own forest and nature group,
which is active Mondays to Thursdays!
All the older children go to the forest at least
twice a month.
A forest hut serves as our retreat during bad weather.
LASTING IMPRESSIONS
You can browse through photos and videos of the children on our website (in the protected parents' area).
PURZELBAUM KITA
KITA BÄRLIS is a «Purzelbaum KiTa».
"Purzelbaum KiTa" is an official recognition from the city of Zurich for a diverse range of exercise and healthy food options.
