Learning Through Play in a Loving Environment

Zug Nursery: Bilingual Care at the Zug City Gate

A warm welcome to our little paradise for children – Little Star Day School Zug! Since 2010, children's hearts have been beating faster here, as we were the first private institution in the region to create a particularly loving concept for bilingual care. In our warm, homely rooms at the "Zuger Stadttor" and on our beautiful, protected playground, little ones experience new adventures every day. With our proven Early Years Curriculum EYC®, we support each child individually on their educational journey, whilst Swiss and international children discover, explore and learn both languages through play together.

Liebevolle Förderung mit System

Unser pädagogisches Konzept in der Kita Zug

Seit wir 2010 als erste private Einrichtung für zweisprachige Kinderbetreuung in Zug eröffnet haben, leitet uns eine klare Vision: Kinder sollen in einer heimeligen Umgebung spielerisch lernen und ihre individuellen Talente entfalten. Unser Konzept baut auf vier Grundpfeilern auf, die zusammen das Fundament für eine glückliche und erfolgreiche Entwicklung bilden.

Ganzheitliche Entwicklung

Am „Zuger Stadttor" fördern wir jeden Entwicklungsbereich Ihres Kindes: kognitiv, emotional, sozial und motorisch. Unser Early Years Curriculum EYC® stellt sicher, dass Ihr Kind nicht nur Wissen erwirbt, sondern auch Selbstvertrauen, Kreativität und Problemlösungsfähigkeiten entwickelt – alles in einem Tempo, das seinen individuellen Bedürfnissen entspricht.

Mehrsprachigkeit

In unserer Kita Zug erleben die Kinder Deutsch und Englisch ganz natürlich im Alltag. Seit unserer Gründung 2010 setzen wir auf das bewährte Immersionsprinzip: Jede Betreuungsperson spricht konsequent in ihrer Muttersprache. Diese frühe Mehrsprachigkeit öffnet nicht nur Türen für die Zukunft, sondern fördert auch die geistige Flexibilität und das kulturelle Verständnis.

Familienpartnerschaft

Wir verstehen uns als Partner der Familien, deren Kinder unsere Kita Zug besuchen. Der regelmässige Austausch mit Ihnen als Eltern, die gemeinsame Reflexion von Entwicklungsschritten und die Abstimmung von Bildungs- und Erziehungszielen sind für uns selbstverständlich. Diese enge Zusammenarbeit schafft Kontinuität und Sicherheit für Ihr Kind.

Internationale Perspektive

Unser Standort im „Zuger Stadttor" ist ein Treffpunkt für Familien aus aller Welt. Diese kulturelle Vielfalt spiegelt sich in unserem Alltag wider – vom mehrsprachigen Morgenkreis bis zu internationalen Festen und Traditionen. Ihr Kind wächst in einer Umgebung auf, die weltoffenes Denken fördert und es optimal auf eine zunehmend vernetzte Welt vorbereitet.

Voices from Our Little Star Family

What parents say about our Zug nursery

5.0
Family Thompson
Seefeld, 2021

"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!"

Family Grey
Kilchberg, 2017

"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."

Family Xin
Sihlcity, 2022

"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!"

What is special about your nursery in Zug?

Our nursery at Zuger Stadttor combines several unique qualities: As a pioneer for bilingual childcare since 2010, we offer a well-thought-out concept with over a decade of experience. Families particularly appreciate our licensed full-day nursery, which combines Lehrplan 21 with international elements. We also enjoy direct access to a protected playground.

How does bilingualism work at Zug nursery?

At our Zug nursery, we implement the immersion principle: each member of staff consistently speaks their native language – either German or English. This way, children experience both languages naturally in daily life and learn them through play without pressure. Studies show that children at this age can absorb languages particularly easily. Since our founding in 2010, we have continuously refined this approach and observe impressive results: children switch effortlessly between languages and develop a natural feel for different speech patterns and expressions.

Our licensed full-day nursery at Zuger Stadttor is a particular pride of our facility. It follows the Swiss Lehrplan 21, which we enrich with international elements. Children are introduced to school content through play and their independence is encouraged. Care time covers the whole day (7:30am-6:30pm), where we focus on a balanced mix of structured learning sessions and free play. Our bilingual orientation also provides optimal conditions for later transition to both Swiss and international schools.

How international is Zug nursery?

Our nursery at Zuger Stadttor is a vibrant microcosm of internationality. Since our founding in 2010, families from various countries and cultural backgrounds have valued our bilingual concept. This cultural diversity is reflected in daily life: we celebrate international festivals, discover traditions from around the world and create an environment where multilingualism and cultural openness are natural. Particularly for internationally active families who are new to Zug or moving between different countries, our nursery offers a familiar anchor and eases the transition.
