Opening hours / Daily Schedule
We endeavour to create a schedule that reflects our pedagogical concept and our belief that children should be seen not only as individuals but also as part of a wider community.
- We are open from Monday to Friday. The opening hours of each location can be found here.
- We are open during school holidays and throughout the summer!
- The locations close between (and including) 24 December and 2 January each year plus the cantonal holidays, as set out in the terms and conditions.
Routines and Transition
Our unique blend of European pedagogical approaches and English-speaking Early Learning programmes focus on providing children with a safe and healthy environment in which to thrive. For this reason, we strive to create rituals and routines that foster individual development of each child whilst also ensuring a community-based approach.
Individual approaches are discussed during the entry interview with the caretakers and catered for where possible. This includes, for example, adapting to each child’s individual sleeping time whilst transitioning them to the general naptime routine of the group as they grow older. During your settling in period, we will discuss your child’s individual needs with you and provide guidance.
