Operating Concept

HoliDay House offers childcare places during three holiday weeks to children from the second year in the kindergarten up to the 5th class.

The children are looked after on a daily basis, with one full day of care being the minimum per week and 5 full days being the maximum. For organizational reasons, half days cannot be booked.

Pedagogical organisation

The children are supervised together in a mixed-age group. The program is designed to be exciting and attractive so that there is something for all ages.
The children have access to the premises of «Jugendförderung» Risch/Rotkreuz. This location includes a big sitting room with kitchen, as well as picnic tables and chairs. Toilets and bathrooms are also available to use, and a big fireplace in the outside area. The premises are located next to the forest, near the sports facilities and the community pool of Rotkreuz.

Meals

The children receive healthy meals suitable for children of school age which are prepared by themselves as a part of the program or by the staff. These meals include breakfast, z’nüni (a morning snack), lunch and z’vieri (an afternoon snack). 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 child care 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 parental fee.

Location

The chosen location is the meeting point and will be a good option in case of bad weather. There are lots of opportunities for indoor activities and the kitchen makes it easy for us to have our meals here. Due to the age of the children and their need for movement, many activities will take place outdoors. Trips and excursions, as well as longer stays in nature if the weather is good, are important parts of the program.

Attendance in case of illness

The HoliDay House is not equipped to care for sick children. If a child should become ill during their stay at the HoliDay House, the parents will be contacted immediately and requested to pick up the child and care for them 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 HoliDay House 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 HoliDay House has a trusted physician at its disposal.

Insurance

Parents are responsible for ensuring that their child has the required health, accident and liability insurance. The parents are held liable for damages caused by the child or for the loss of stuff or valuables brought by the child.
