Meet our Management

Since 2011, I have been working in childcare and continue to carry out my profession with great enthusiasm. For several years, I led an infant and toddler group while simultaneously working as a vocational trainer and deputy daycare center manager. I then completed leadership training and, at the same time, gained valuable experience as a daycare center manager. In October 2022, I finally took over the management of the pop e poppa schlossburg daycare center.

An environment
where every child
thrives

Our bright and modern daycare center is easily accessible on foot or by car and is only a 10-minute walk from Thun’s main train station. Our enclosed courtyard provides the children with their own playground, and the beautiful surroundings of Lake Thun offer numerous opportunities for excursions.

In two age-based groups, the children are individually supported by our caring team. Our daily routine is filled with opportunities for exploration through free play, creative activities, and movement sessions. Each child is valued as a unique individual while also being seen as part of a community. Through targeted guidance, quiet spaces, and excursions into nature, we support the children’s development.

  • Spacious garden and playground
  • Childcare vouchers
  • Modern day care centre
  • Fourchette verte certified
