Program Provided

The children who are in the first (voluntary) year of kindergarten and the second (mandatory) year are taught in a mixed or heterogeneous group. Suitable rooms, as well as sufficient outdoor areas, are available to meet individual and specific education needs.
For the child to be able to integrate into the group, and to ensure that it is provided with all of the educational content necessary at its age, a minimum of two full days of attendance per week is required. During the mandatory second year of kindergarten, at least 3.5 days of attendance per week is required, in accordance with specification of the cantonal legislation in the canton of residence. The management reserves the right to decide which weekdays will be assigned to children in the mandatory second year of schooling.

Before the transfer from the Lil' Mouse House daycare center to the Big Bear House kindergarten, the children are optimally prepared for the transfer to the daycare center through our kindergarten-project or in individual activities, so that a successful start to the next phase of their lives can be guaranteed.
External children come for one or two visit half-days before entering the kindergarten to get acquainted with the new environment.

Meals

The children receive healthy meals suitable for children of kindergarten age which are prepared by the staff restaurant of the partner company. These meals include breakfast, z’nüni (a morning snack), lunch and z’vieri (an afternoon snack). The children take their own z’nüni.
Attention is given to variation and fresh foods. Allergies and special requirements will be taken into consideration as much as possible, or the parents may bring special foods for the children. Under no circumstances will the children be forced to eat, but rather they will be motivated to eat, in particular through following the examples set by the childcare staff. The children should enjoy eating and should develop a common mealtime culture.

All meals are included in the monthly fee. Any specially requested food must be brought by the parents. This does not result in a reduction of the monthly fee.

Attendance in Case of Illness

The kindergarten is not equipped to care for sick children. If a child should become ill during its stay at the kindergarten, the parents will be contacted immediately and requested to pick up the child and care for it at home. It is important to us that the parents are informed even if a child merely feels unwell, so that the parents may decide how to proceed.

In the event of an accident (emergency), the kindergarten management will place the child in medical treatment immediately. Whenever possible, the parents will be informed of this in advance, so that the best solution for the child may be found. The kindergarten has a trusted physician at its disposal.

Parents-APP

By using the parent APP, take best care GmbH offers parents an insight from home and thus an optimal and fast cooperation with the childcare staff. Parents can book additional days online, quickly and easily deregister their child from the kindergarten in case of illness, enter vacation days or view and reflect on pictures from the kindergarten relaxed at home with the child.

The caregivers also use this software to be more efficient in administrative activities, for example, in the creation of lists, in the daily attendance check of the children or also to record the daily information of the parents as well as feedback of the daily routine. The data is handled confidentially according to data protection guidelines.
