Several group leaders, trained co-caregivers, apprentices and interns work in the childcare team.

Regular pedagogical training is supported and financed by the company.

Daily Routine

The children are brought to Kinderhaus between 7:00 am and 9:30 am. During the bringing time we provide a small snack with fruits. From 8:35 am to approximately 9:00 am, a communal breakfast takes place. After that, we offer the children an individually designed program. At 11:30 am we will have lunch together. After lunch, the little ones take a nap and the big ones have a rest. The afternoon program is also designed according to the needs of the children. At about 3:30/ 4:00 pm there will be a snack (Zvieri). Between 5:30 pm and 5:50 pm (Friday 4:30 pm to 4:50 pm) the children are picked up. At 6:00 pm (Friday 5:00 pm) LOKI closes.

A varied and child-oriented daily routine is very important to us. In addition to guided activities and various excursions, we offer the children appropriate free spaces in which they can develop and unfold individually.

Bringing and pick up times

Children can be brought from 7:00 am to 9:30 am and picked up from 5.30 pm to 5.50 pm (Friday 4:30 pm to 4:50 pm). We kindly ask you to inform us early if you exceptionally want to bring your child later or pick him/her up earlier. In order to be able to carry out a good and professional handover, we ask you to pick up your child at least 10 minutes before Kinderhaus closes.

In addition to the excursions and activities that each group does individually, we also have great inter-group activities. The groups are reorganized every week so that all children can participate. Only children who are cared for on the corresponding days in the LOKI are assigned.

Forest (afternoon) day: every Tuesday

All LOKI children aged 3 and over who are looked after on Tuesdays can take part in the forest (afternoon) day on alternate days.

Depending on the weather and season, we set off at 9.30 or 11.00 am and return to LOKI by 5.30 pm at the latest. We prepare our lunch over the fire and explore the forest in countless ways: These include observing, exploring, collecting, crafting, climbing, digging and much more. The children experience the four seasons in nature. Together we discover animals and their tracks as well as various plants. However, the program varies depending on the weather and is adapted to the children's needs. We may therefore return earlier.

All children who take part in the forest (afternoon) day will receive a separate letter with important information.

Farm (afternoon) day: every Wednesday and Thursday

This offer applies to all LOKI children aged 1.5 years and over who are looked after at LOKI on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Younger children are sometimes included for half a day.

At around 10.00 a.m. (Wednesday) and 2.30 p.m. (Thursday) we make our way to the Schönenberg "Schöni" farm in Bergdietikon, the home of our employee Valeria. We play in the farm playground and are allowed to stroke and feed the animals. Throughout the day/afternoon, the theme of the farm is explored and a variety of fun projects are carried out with the children. Depending on the weather, we eat lunch and the special farm snack "Buurehof-Läbchueche" in the garden or in the farmhouse. Before we make our way back, there is a short final quiz on the farm theme. We'll be back at LOKI by 5.30 p.m. at the latest with lots of new impressions.

"Rägeboge" studio: every week on a different day

All LOKI children, young and old., can take part in the

“Rägeboge” workshop on alternate days.

LOKI children from all groups come together in our

"Rägeboge-Atelier" and can experience, live out and strengthen their imagination with all their senses for approx. 1 hour. The framework conditions are adapted to the age of the children. Creativity, imagination and lots of fun are very important for all ages. As an introduction, the children climb through a hoop into the "rainbow world". They are then familiarized with the individual theme through painting, handicrafts, storytelling, sensory games and so on. The children then leave the "Rainbow World" and are returned to their groups.

LOKI bus

Our LOKI bus provides great experiences, exciting excursions and is an absolute highlight for the children. Our LOKI bus has 9 seats and is equipped with age-appropriate child seats in accordance with safety regulations. It takes us quickly to various playgrounds, zoos, parks and much more. Not only the varied excursions, but also the journey itself, with children's songs or stories, is loved by the children. Of course, the LOKI bus is only driven by experienced drivers.
