Meet our Management
Since 2019, I have been working as a childcare specialist. After two years as deputy daycare center manager, I took over the management of the schaffhausen daycare center in 2025 and completed leadership training. At the same time, I began further training in management to continue developing myself. It is especially important to me that our daycare center is a place where children feel secure and parents always feel well supported.
When we encourage children to discover and try things on their own, we strengthen their self-confidence and lay the foundation for curious, independent learning.

An environment
where every child
thrives
Our bilingual daycare center is located in the heart of Schaffhausen, right by the train station and just a few steps from the old town. It is easily accessible on foot, by public transport, or by car. Thanks to its central location, it is convenient not only for families from Schaffhausen but also for parents from Neuhausen am Rheinfall, Feuerthalen, and Beringen.
We care for 28 children from 3 months up to school entry in an open-concept setting. We place great value on a family-like atmosphere and a varied daily routine, with plenty of space for movement, creativity, and personal development. Forest days, children’s yoga, and early musical education complete our educational offerings.
