Meet our Management

Working with children has always inspired me. After completing my training, I was able to gain various experiences in the childcare sector in 2017 as a team leader and later as deputy operations manager. During this time, I completed leadership training. Afterwards, I had the opportunity to participate in co-managing the opening of a new daycare center. In November 2023, I joyfully took over the management of the Forsthaus daycare center.

An environment
where every child
thrives

Located in the lively Länggasse district of Bern, our daycare center forsthaus offers the perfect balance between urban life and nature. Situated right next to the Bremgarten Forest and near the Bern University of Teacher Education, we are easily accessible, just seven minutes from Bern’s main train station and three minutes from the Forsthaus motorway exit.

Our daycare center combines modern educational insights with proven approaches. The children are cared for in two age-based groups by a motivated team and supported individually. Taking our quality principles into account, activities and guided learning sessions are designed to promote holistic development in a nurturing and stimulating environment.
