Meet our Management

For over ten years, I have been working as a daycare center manager with heart and professional expertise. I successfully completed my training as a childcare specialist in 2009. Since then, I have continuously pursued further education – including training as an institution manager in the social and socio-medical sector, as well as team leader and vocational trainer. As a daycare center manager, creating a respectful, safe environment and supporting the individual development of children is especially important to me.

An environment
where every child
thrives

Our daycare center Oerlikon is ideally located at Berninaplatz and is very easily accessible by public transport. Our bright rooms offer children numerous opportunities to develop and let their imagination run free, with an indoor playground and various play areas.

The guiding principle of Montessori pedagogy, “Help me do it myself,” accompanies us throughout the day. We offer a variety of daily activities that reflect the interests and needs of the children. We support the children in a way that helps them develop into independent, confident, and responsible individuals. In doing so, we specifically promote their language development, independence, and self-confidence. We actively experience nature through forest days, visits to playgrounds, and walks.
