A Day at KiddieLand KiTa
We understand the importance of structure and variety in your child’s day. Curious to see what your child will be doing and experiencing? Here’s a sample of what a typical day at KiddieLand looks like:
A warm welcome &
gentle start.
We greet each family personally and ease every child into the day with a freshly prepared breakfast or a bottle. Followed by calm morning play and settling-in time.
7:00 - 8:30
Circle time & first naps.
We sing, play, and interact based on the children’s moods – strengthening language and social bonds. Tired little ones are gently guided to sleep in our cozy sleeping room, always with a caregiver by their side. Or we take a meaningful walk around the “Chreis 10” neighbourhood, visiting the GZ Wipkingen with its animals and the Limmat along the way.
9:30 - 11:30
Mealtime & mindful moments.
Chef Pavlos prepares healthy, homemade meals loved by our children. Baby purées are tailored to each baby’s needs and we gently introduce new foods and encourage self-feeding. After lunch, it’s time for rest – some nap, others enjoy quiet moments with books or cuddles. Receive a weekly overview of all our freshly made meals in our App!
11:30 - 13:30
Outdoor play & discovery.
We try to spend as much time in our private garden as possible – digging in the sandbox, crawling through tunnels, running around or exploring nature with all the senses. Some children relax in the shade or even drift off for a peaceful nap outdoors. Receive a cute photo of your child in our App!
14:00 - 16:00
Themed discovery & free play.
In small groups, divided by age and interests, we explore fun topics like seasons or senses through creative activities – like making ladybugs in spring. Children then enjoy free play based on their interests, supported by our educators with gentle bilingual guidance.
16:00 - 17:00
Winding down & pickup time.
We end the day with quiet games and story time, creating a calm, cozy atmosphere. At pickup, we share a personal summary of each child’s day- so families leave feeling connected and informed. Until tomorrow!
17:00 - 18:30
