Meet our Management
For over 20 years, I have been working with great enthusiasm in the childcare sector. I have specialized in working with infants, completed training as a daycare center manager, furthered my education in quality assurance, and obtained qualifications as a vocational course instructor and adult educator. The well-being of children and parents is my top priority. It is especially important to me to recognize each child in their uniqueness and support them individually.
Childhood is the time when the window to the world is widest open.

An environment
where every child
thrives
Centrally located in Zurich Altstetten, our daycare center chinderburg has been a welcoming place for children for over 30 years. We are a 15-minute walk from Altstetten train station and situated directly at the Bachmattstrasse tram stop. Thanks to its central location and its direct proximity to the forest, we are able to offer children a wide range of varied, valuable excursions and nature experiences every day.
We combine professional care with a warm, family-like atmosphere and offer a variety of daily activities to support children’s development through all their senses. Our daily schedule is designed based on the interests and needs of the children. We participate in the City of Zurich’s projects “Well Prepared for Kindergarten” and “Daycare-Integrated German Support (KiD).”
