Little Frogs Daycare Program
With lots of imagination, heart and fun, the children experience many exciting things in the daycare center and in nature.
In every daycare center, we run baby groups (up to 18-24 months old, depending on individual development) and toddler groups.
We develop various sequences, excursions, zoo visits, forest days or craft activities within monthly themes, orienting ourselves towards seasons or annual rituals such as Räbeliechtli, Samichlaus, Christmas, Easter, etc.
Movement
We're not just active outdoors – we're also active in the daycare center. Children's Zumba, dancing, and rhythm classes are very popular with all the children.
Play
Play is a central component of healthy child development. Therefore, we give play a prominent place in the daily routine of our nursery. Whether it's free play, role-playing, or play guided by caregivers – the children love it!
Language support
We adapt our communication to the children's developmental stage to optimally promote language development. We read, rhyme, and sing with the children in everyday life. Role-playing and reading aloud are also important pillars of language development.
Kindergarten preparation
Positive transitions are important, as they help children approach new challenges with optimism later in life. Therefore, we prepare children specifically for the transition to kindergarten with activities involving cutting, gluing, painting, road safety, basic numbers, and more.
Forest Days
During our forest days, we discover our local flora and fauna, build tents and huts, or simply let loose!
Zoo days
KITA Little Frogs trips to Zurich Zoo. At Zurich Zoo, which we visit in every season, we explore the fascinating animal world. We enjoy a mid-morning or afternoon snack, or a packed lunch, at one of the many picnic and play areas in the zoo.
Fruits, cooking, baking
In our two daycare centers in Zurich-Seefeld and Zurich-Altstetten, we also encourage the children's development in our "daycare kitchen." For example, we create fruit skewers, bake cookies and Grittibänz (a type of sweet bread) during the Christmas season, and much more.
