Bewährtes Bildungskonzept seit 2001

Unser pädagogischer Ansatz

Als Pioniere der zweisprachigen Kinderbetreuung in der Schweiz, setzen wir seit 2001 auf ein bewährtes, von uns entwickeltes Konzept: Das Early Years Curriculum EYC®. Es verbindet Montessori-Elemente mit moderner Frühpädagogik und Schweizer Bildungsstandards. In unserer Kita erleben Kinder Zweisprachigkeit nach dem Immersionsprinzip "One Person –  One Language" – jede Betreuungsperson spricht konsequent entweder Englisch oder Deutsch.

Early Years Curriculum - Unser EYC®

Unser wissenschaftlich fundiertes Bildungsprogramm bildet die Basis für eine optimale Entwicklung Ihres Kindes. Wir passen alle Fördermassnahmen individuell an den Entwicklungsstand Ihres Kindes an und dokumentieren regelmässig die Fortschritte. Dabei legen wir grossen Wert auf einen engen Austausch mit Ihnen als Eltern, um gemeinsam die Entwicklung Ihres Kindes bestmöglich zu unterstützen.

Zweisprachiges Konzept

In unseren Kitas in Zürich, Kilchberg und Zug ist Mehrsprachigkeit ein natürlicher und intuitiver Teil des Alltags. Kinder tauchen durch tägliche Interaktionen ganz natürlich in die Sprachwelten von Deutsch und Englisch ein. Durch die konsequente Trennung der zwei Sprachen, entwickeln sie ein intuitives Verständnis beider Sprachsysteme. Spiele, Lieder, Geschichten und Alltagsaktivitäten in den jeweiligen Sprachen fördern die Sprachkompetenz und interkulturelles Verständnis und bilden so eine wertvolle Grundlage für die Zukunft Ihres Kindes.

Unsere Werte für starke Kinder

Respekt, Motivation, Selbstvertrauen und Fürsorge begleiten jedes Kind bei uns Tag für Tag.
Wir fördern ihre Neugier, stärken ihr Selbstvertrauen und schaffen einen Ort, an dem sie sich sicher und wertgeschätzt fühlen. So wachsen Kinder bei uns mit Herz, Mut und Freude.

Testimonials from Our Families

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!"

Your Questions, Our Answers

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Nursery in Zurich & Zug

In this section, you'll find answers to frequently asked questions. If your question hasn't been answered and you need personal advice, please get in touch with us! Our team is always happy to help and support you with your individual needs.

How is the settling-in period at the nursery structured?

Settling-in is a sensitive process that we design according to our scientifically-based approach. A key worker accompanies you and your child through this important phase. We begin with short visits in the presence of a parent, whereby your child gradually builds trust with their new environment and care staff.

How is bilingualism implemented in the nursery?

We implement bilingualism according to the proven immersion principle "One Person - One Language". Each member of staff speaks exclusively in their native language (German or English) with the children. This consistent assignment of person and language enables children to acquire both languages naturally and without pressure. Children experience both languages in authentic everyday situations and develop a natural feel for both language systems. Importantly, we don't pressure children to speak a particular language, but rather support their natural language development.

How are children's learning progress documented?

Documentation of children's development takes place on several levels. The foundation is our digital development portfolio, in which we regularly record observations, learning progress and special moments. This also includes photo and video documentation of projects and activities. This systematic documentation is supplemented by daily updates in our parent app, monthly development reports and detailed personal discussions every quarter. Additionally, we create an individual educational biography for each child, recording their developmental steps, interests and strengths.

What opening hours does the nursery in Zurich & Zug offer?


Our opening hours from 7:30 to 18:30 allow flexible arrangement of care. You can choose between different care models (2–5 days) and adapt these as needed. Additionally, we offer holiday care and can enable special care hours in exceptional circumstances.

How is the daily routine at the nursery structured?

Our daily routine combines clear structures with flexible activity phases. The morning begins with a personal greeting and shared breakfast. In the morning period, age-appropriate educational activities take place, such as language development, creative activities or movement programmes. After lunch and a rest period, further playful activities follow, often in smaller groups or outdoors. Fixed rituals such as shared meals, rest times and group activities provide orientation for children, whilst free play phases leave room for their own discoveries.
