Our educational approach at Kilchberg nursery is built on four strong pillars. Together, they form the foundation for your child's optimal development in a loving environment.
In our nursery, each member of staff consistently speaks their native language. This way, children are immersed daily in German and English, learning both languages naturally through play. This early multilingualism promotes not only language competence but also cognitive development.
With our Early Years Curriculum EYC®, we stimulate all your child's senses. In the historic setting of our Kilchberg rooms, we create an inspiring learning environment that awakens natural curiosity and promotes playful discovery – for optimal development of all abilities.
Our above-average staff ratios at Kilchberg nursery enable intensive support for each individual child. We take time to recognise unique talents and nurture them individually – in an atmosphere that conveys security and protection.
We use our unique location with lake views for varied experiences: from swimming and yoga to music, forest days and cultural activities – all included in the care fee. This way, children discover their environment with all their senses and develop diverse interests.

"We'd like to thank every single member of your team who looked after our son with such warmth and care. We dropped him off with you each day feeling completely at ease, and that peace of mind is absolutely priceless! Thank you for everything!"
"Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for five wonderful years of care for both our children. It wasn't just childcare - it was affection, kindness, security and love. That meant the world to us. We're going to miss you all terribly. We are big fans of Little Star Day School."
"It was an absolute pleasure for our family to bring our daughter and son to Little Star, and they had the most wonderful time there. When our daughter first arrived at Little Star, she was far too shy to speak to anyone. By the time she left, she was chatting away confidently with teachers in both fluent English and German. Our son started when he was just a 10-month-old baby, and when he left at age 4, he'd grown into a bright, confident little boy - completely ready for school. Many thanks for all your brilliant work!"

Our nursery in Kilchberg is distinguished by its unique location in the upper part of the village next to the community and school building. The spacious, light-filled rooms offer picturesque views of Lake Zurich. This inspiring environment, combined with our extensive experience since 2001 and proven Early Years Curriculum EYC®, creates optimal conditions for your child's holistic development.
Our regular opening hours are Monday to Friday from 7:30am to 6:30pm. We offer flexible care models tailored to the needs of working parents. The central location in Kilchberg enables good accessibility for parents from the surrounding area and commuters.
Settling-in takes place gently and individually according to the Berlin Model. In the first few days, a parent accompanies the child for a few hours. We gradually extend the time the child spends alone in the group. At our Kilchberg location, children quickly feel comfortable and secure. The duration of settling-in depends on your child's needs and usually takes 2-3 weeks.
The care fee includes all regular care services, healthy meals and snacks as well as all additional activities such as swimming, children's yoga, music, Mandarin and forest days. Our all-inclusive concept guarantees that no hidden costs will arise. We're happy to create an individual quote based on your care requirements at our Kilchberg nursery.
We work according to the immersion principle: each member of staff consistently speaks their native language (German or English). This way, children naturally immerse themselves in both languages and learn them through play in daily life. This approach promotes not only language development, but also cognitive abilities and cultural understanding.
