Bilingual Kindergarten at KiddieLand: A World of Learning

Launched in 2017 by popular demand from our parent community, our Bilingual Kindergarten program is designed to make life easier for busy families.

With flexibility and family time in mind, we provide a structured yet nurturing environment that prepares children for public or private primary school. Our program offers a seamless continuation of the educational journey at KiddieLand, supporting children through the exciting transition to 1st grade – academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our Kindergarten lessons run over 3.5 days (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Wednesday mornings), with Wednesday afternoons and Fridays available as optional extended care. Fridays are lesson-free to give families the opportunity for long weekends and more quality time before the more structured primary school years begin.

A Bilingual Learning Schedule

Unlike childcare, our Kindergarten program features a dedicated bilingual structure.

German is exclusively spoken in the mornings and at lunchtime by our German teacher, while afternoons are led by our English teacher. This structured bilingual approach ensures fluency and confidence in both languages, with individualized support where needed.

Extracurricular Activities

Beyond classroom lessons, we offer a variety of extracurricular, interesting activities

We offer Robotics, Music, Ballet, and weekly trips to exciting places like Zurich Airport, museums, and farms. Most of these enriching experiences are included in our all-inclusive pricing, ensuring every child has the opportunity to explore, learn, and grow.

Forest Fridays
Children spend the day outdoors, learning from the best teacher—Mother Nature

Led by a specialized nature teacher, in the fresh air, the children explore, discover, and continue their education in a hands-on, natural environment. This immersive experience fosters a deep connection to nature and perfectly complements their structured lessons in-house.

Year-Round Care and Family Convenience

Our Kindergarten runs all year long, remaining open during most Zurich Public School holidays

We close for three weeks per year: two in August and one between Christmas and New Year. During Zurich Public holidays, we pause regular lessons but offer engaging project weeks with the same trusted teachers. Families can take holidays or continue with our care, ensuring continuity and flexibility.

Preparing for Primary School and Beyond

Most Kindergarten children have attended childcare, making for a smooth, cohesive transition.

With a small class size, each child receives personalized attention in a familiar setting. We prepare children not only academically for primary school but also focus on their social-emotional development—boosting confidence, adapting them to new environments, and equipping them with life skills such as independence, empathy, and cultural awareness.

A Bright Space to Learn and Play

Our Kindergarten is housed in spacious, well-lit classrooms with high-quality furniture.

A private garden provides ample space for outdoor play and exploration, further enhancing the children’s learning experience. With 40% of our second floor dedicated exclusively to the Kindergarten, we ensure a comfortable, stimulating environment that our little students call their own.

More Than Just School

Public KiGa may appear free until considering the costs for extended care, meals, and holiday camps.

With all costs factored in, our private Kindergarten is only marginally more expensive than public KiGa. However, many parents choose KiddieLand for its bilingualism, personalized attention, small class size, and family-like environment—not to mention our high-quality nutrition program.

At KiddieLand, we offer much more than education…

we provide a nurturing, flexible, and enriching experience that supports your child’s academic and personal growth.
