About us
Kids Chalet is a family business built from shared experiences of loved ones. We know what it means for parents to depend on their local day care centre as their community. This community-centred vision is what created Kids Chalet.
The Kids Chalet Background
Living away from the core family unit, the founder knows how important it is to have a community for support and being able to rely on that community to help nurture our families and foster children’s development. We have built our foundation on three pillars: value, quality and community.
Our extensive research and experience took us to our local day care centres but also overseas to look at how other countries facilitate childcare and early learning. The European design and approach to pedagogy inspired us and the Early Learning concept of English-speaking countries gave us a best-practice guideline to follow. However, we wanted to ensure that the heart of Kids Chalet was uniquely Swiss at its core.
During our visits to other centres, we noticed varying levels of dedication in the teachers we spoke with and for those that were clearly passionate about the development of children, there was a substantially higher proportion of happy and confident kids. This realisation has become the primary focus of Kids Chalet and we have partnered with educators that are passionate about helping children learn about themselves and others as well as the world around them.
What Kids Chalet stands for
Our children-centred approach means that teachers facilitate the skills that children need to develop to become well-rounded and happy members of their peers, their families and society. Our Early Learning inspired framework offers clear developmental guidelines while allowing enough room for creativity and free play as well as offering support and empathy. Our pedagogical foundation empowers our educators to provide a nurturing and supportive environment, creating a community that is based on quality and affording parents time with their children.
We believe that children thrive in an environment which values their community, while providing support and opportunities to grow emotionally, socially and creatively. By building on each child’s strengths, interests and curiosities, we guide each child to explore the world around them as well as develop new abilities and form close relationships as part of their pre-school experience.
Our day care services are aimed at cultivating a supreme, early learning platform that encourages children to learn the skills and knowledge to excel at school and thrive psycho-socially. Kids Chalet children not only grow with us but learn how to be confident and happy providing the foundation for kids to excel in their life.
