Our educational approach at Wollishofen nursery is built on four strong pillars. Together, they form the foundation for your child's optimal development in a loving environment.
Following the immersion principle, each member of staff consistently speaks their native language. This way, your child naturally immerses themselves in both languages and benefits for life from this early access.
Our multisensory approach enables your child to learn with all their senses. This holistic experience anchors knowledge more deeply and promotes optimal development of all abilities.
Our above-average staff ratios at Wollishofen nursery ensure that every child receives the attention they need. We observe carefully and support each child individually.
Gymnastics, children's yoga, swimming, music and Mandarin enrich our daily routine – all included in the care fee. This way, children discover new talents and interests through play.

"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!"
Here you'll find answers to the most common questions about our nursery in Wollishofen. Do you have further questions? Please feel free to contact us personally.
We care for children from 6 months until they start school. For each age group, we have specially designed rooms and age-appropriate educational approaches that are optimally tailored to their respective developmental needs.
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 not only promotes language development, but also cognitive abilities and cultural understanding.
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. There are no hidden costs. We're happy to create an individual quote based on your care requirements.
All meals are prepared fresh daily in our kitchen. We value balanced, child-friendly nutrition with seasonal and regional ingredients. We naturally accommodate allergies, intolerances and cultural or religious dietary requirements.
Our unique selling point is the combination of bilingual care (German/English), our unique Early Years Curriculum EYC® and the diverse included additional activities. Added to this are our above-average staff ratios, individual support for each child and our extensive experience since 2001.
