Answers to your most frequently asked questions

Congrats on this exciting next step for your family! 🌱

You can start the process whenever you’re ready – whether your child is joining us in a few weeks, a few months, or next year. The enrolment process at KiddieLand is simple, flexible, and personal.

Most families begin by contacting us via our website form, by phone, or by email at hello@kiddieland.ch to schedule an on-site visit. BYOB – Bring Your Own Baby ☺️ if possible! This way, we can already get a sense of how your little one feels in our environment.

During your visit, you’ll get to know our wonderful teachers, explore our bright classrooms, the urban garden, and experience our daily rhythm and educational approach.

If you can’t visit in person, we’re happy to arrange a virtual tour or video call – you’ll still get a glimpse into our everyday life, our garden, and maybe even meet our beloved chef Pavlos in the kitchen 😍.

After your visit, we’ll send you all registration documents. Once you decide KiddieLand is the right fit, simply complete the forms and we’ll confirm availability and reserve a place in one of our groups.
We’ll then take care of the administrative steps so everything runs smoothly.

When it’s time to start, your child’s introduction will include a gentle, attachment-based settling-in period, inspired by the Berliner model, and adapted to your family’s rhythm.

We recommend starting the registration early, as our daycare spots in Zürich tend to fill up quickly.

PS: We believe it’s important to find the right daycare or KiTa in Zurich for your family.
That’s why we encourage you to visit and experience 3–4 different childcare centers before making your final decision. Sometimes that’s the only way to discover what truly feels right – and what doesn’t.

We’re happy to support you on this journey with our free KiTa Evaluation Guidea helpful resource as you explore the best childcare in Zurich for your little one. 😊

In the canton of Zürich, the V TaK regulation for kindergartens and KiTas sets minimum staffing rules:

Every group must have at least one qualified caregiver at all times.

If a group has more than six children, a second caregiver must be present.

For very young children (under ~19 months), each child counts as 1.5 places, meaning more staffing is required per child in that age range.

The typical “regular group size” is up to 12 places, but deviations are allowed as long as the child / caregiver ratio remains equivalent.  

At KiddieLand, we try to exceed these minimum requirements to ensure smaller groups, more attention, and higher quality care. We adjust the ratio further depending on age, group size, and individual as well as operational needs.

Our highly qualified staff is comprised of

  • Admin& Management Team: Qualified (Co-)Directors and two KiTa Co-Leaders
  • Teaching Team per group: One German-speaking teacher, one English-speaking teacher, and one or two interns or apprentices 
  • One back-office Assistant
  • On-call Helpers 
  • One full-time Chef/Kitchen Administrator 
  • Professional cleaning company
