They create a shared framework for what we do and how we do it and provide parents with transparent guidance on what our quality is based on in everyday practice.
Our commitment to an environmentally friendly and responsible future is demonstrated in four key areas that are embedded in the daily routines of each of our daycare centers.
Our educational concept promotes an environmentally conscious attitude and raises children’s awareness of their environment in everyday life. Through playful learning, they learn about waste sorting and recycling and develop an understanding of the careful use of resources by using reusable materials.
Daily time spent in nature as well as jointly caring for a raised garden bed allow children to experience the natural cycle first-hand. This helps to deepen their understanding of sustainability.
Our team's live sustainability based on our eco-friendly Charter in everyday life. They work with the children to ensure careful waste sorting and a conscious use of resources such as energy, and they integrate environmentally friendly actions as a natural part of daily routines. This way, they actively promote sustainable development.
From food to furniture to cleaning products, we prefer environmentally responsible suppliers. Wherever possible, we rely on regional and local partnerships.
Our daycare centres are located close to public transport wherever possible, so that parents and staff can also reach them without a car. We also see spatial design as part of our sustainability approach. In construction and maintenance work, we use environmentally friendly materials and ensure that equipment is selected according to high energy efficiency standards.
We follow the recommendations of the Swiss Society for Nutrition. We see mealtimes as a sensory experience and an important part of our educational work. Our catering partners are carefully selected to ensure that they share our values and comply with the eco-Friendly Charta. They specialize in preparing meals for children and guarantee healthy, age-appropriate nutrition. Our menus are seasonal, as regional as possible, and varied. Meat, fish, and vegetarian dishes are offered in a balanced rotation, and sugar is largely avoided. Children decide for themselves what and how much they want to eat. Water and unsweetened tea are available at all times.
It enables a consistent approach to observation and analysis within the daycare center team. Umanweb makes it possible to document children’s development in a tangible way and to develop targeted support measures as a team. Through a wide range of observation criteria, children are regularly observed across all areas of development in a way that is tailored to their age.
