You can hear the birds singing in our yard, which you’ll get to experience for yourself if you come and enjoy a coffee-to-go in our coffee corner. In the infant sections we actually use hanging cribs, so our youngest charges can get used to the sounds and scents in their part of the building. It’s a safe place for your baby to fall asleep, and a perfect opportunity for us to get to know him or her!
Preparing for elementary school through play
Our section for older toddlers is located on the top floor. We are committed to meeting the specific development needs of this age range and help prepare them for elementary school. The walk down the various floors of the building is more than just functional, as it teaches children to use the stairs and allows them to see what’s going on in the kitchen and office. Singing songs together is part of our regular routine when we head outdoors (“Quiet, the babies are asleep right now...”).
A lovely garden for every age group
We maintain separate gardens for our infants, with one of the yards being directly adjacent to the infant section. Our younger and older toddlers learn to independently use building blocks, climb across tires, or ride their bikes across the tracks. They like to go and hide, enjoy each other’s company, or enjoy some alone time as the mood strikes them. The plentiful trees provide all the shade they need to keep them safe and comfortable all year round.
You’ll find our facility near the city center, and you’ll pass it as you travel to or from work.

Special toddler activitiesWith the toddlers, we often deliberately split the group. This way, we can cater to the different developmental stages of the children. We do this with the oldest toddlers (3+) in preparation for primary school.

Toddler yogaMovement is important, which is why we do toddler yoga every week. This helps develop good movement habits, balance, and both fine and gross motor skills. They love it!

BabygardensBabies can enjoy the fresh air in complete safety in their own sheltered baby garden area. And the older children can play hide-and-seek to their heart’s content in the willow tunnel or in the sandpit, or race around on small bicycles or carts.
