Meet our Management
After completing my training as a kindergarten teacher, I further developed in the field of early childhood education and bring over 15 years of experience, including 10 years at the frechdachs daycare center. As part of the pep Talent project, I completed further training as a team leader in social and socio-medical institutions and have been managing the frechdachs daycare center since 2024. I place great importance on respectful and supportive guidance, an open team culture, and a trusting collaboration with parents.
At the end of the day, your feet should be dirty, your hair messy, and your eyes shining.

An environment
where every child
thrives
We have been running the frechdachs daycare center since 2002 at our location in Zürich Schiffbau. Our daycare center is located in the Steinfels area, within the West Side residential and commercial development in District 5 of Zürich. Nearby are the Josefswiese, the Robinson playground, and the Limmat river. Centrally located in the heart of Zürich, we are easily accessible by public transport.
We nurture each child’s curiosity and creativity through playful learning in a warm, supportive environment. As one of the first Swiss centers to receive the QualiKita label (2013), we combine high educational standards with individual care, fostering independence, social skills, and joyful development every day.
