Quality at Little Star Day School

All nurseries and preschools in Switzerland are controlled and approved by the Swiss government and School Department. Little Star Day School has the compulsory permission to run a nursery/preschool as well as being a private kindergarten.

Furthermore, the management follows a policy of highest quality, because we know that choosing the best child care and early education programme for your family is one of the most important decisions you will make as a parent.

When you visit a centre in your area you should check the following elements to contribute to the quality of your child’s preschool experience:

• Programme
• Parent Communication and Involvement
• Teachers
• Health and Safety
• Facilities

Use these elements to ask questions and to compare the programmes you visit. Spend at least one hour at the school and pay careful attention to interactions between the teachers and children. Once you feel that you have obtained sufficing information about every aspect of the programme, you will be able to make a decision about the best care and education for your child.

Remember, the best early childhood programmes are those that give children the foundation they need to build self-esteem, develop school competence, and reach for higher levels of learning. No matter what kind of programme you select for your child, you and your child's teachers can join in a partnership to enhance your child's learning experience. By building a strong home-school relationships from the start, parents and teachers can support children and prepare them for future success, both in and outside the classroom.
