Philosophy

Our education style is based on a partnership between us and the parents and is primarily a fostering style; a style in which we promote growth and development of the child in a caring environment.  Our core philosophy is taken from the principles of Remo Largo (paediatrician and textbook author).  He writes, among other things, :  “A child is unique, a learning being, he/she should be the focus, he/she has a yearning for independence, and constantly wants to learn … “ (translated)  The children are given the opportunity to be able to develop and unfold at their own pace.

Bilingual

The children learn English as well as Swiss German through play and through the our daily routine.
