Our Values – Blüemli Daycare Zurich Witikon
Values We Stand For
Blüemli Daycare stands for loving, professional, and individual care for children. Our educational work is based on a holistic approach that deliberately fosters independence, responsibility, and self-confidence. In a warm and family-like atmosphere, children can explore their environment, discover their strengths, and develop freely. Our values are reflected in our daily actions.
- Sharing Every Moment
In the first years, children experience many important developmental milestones. We support them with joy, attentiveness, and patience to make these moments meaningful. Close communication with parents is important to us, as together we aim to create valuable memories that accompany the child on their journey. - Promoting Language Diversity from the Start
Language is the key to the world—especially in the first years of life. At our daycare, children naturally grow up with two languages: German and English. Both languages are part of daily life and are integrated naturally into play, communication, and routines. This way, children experience language diversity without pressure, develop a refined sense of language, and expand their horizons through play. Multilingualism supports not only linguistic but also social and cognitive development, opening new opportunities for children to explore the world. - Shaping the Future
A loving and supportive environment lays the foundation for future development. Through playful learning, targeted stimulation, and age-appropriate challenges, we prepare children for upcoming tasks. This fosters their curiosity, social skills, and ability to navigate the world. - Acting Reliably and Responsibly
Parents entrust us with their most precious treasure— their children. This trust is a responsibility for us. We work according to the highest educational and safety standards to provide every child with a protected, loving environment where they feel safe and secure. - Respecting Every Family
Every family has its own values, history, culture, and parenting principles. We approach everyone with respect and openness. Through close collaboration, we create an atmosphere where every family feels valued and understood. - Guiding with Heart and Passion
Children need caregivers who are present with passion and dedication. Our staff support them with empathy, patience, and joy, fostering their individual development. Our goal is to nurture each child’s uniqueness and provide a sense of security. - Using Nature as a Learning Environment
Children experience the world best with all their senses—and nature provides the perfect environment for this. In our forest group, they explore the surroundings, learn to interact mindfully with plants and animals, and develop a deep awareness of nature. These experiences strengthen their confidence, motor skills, and creativity. - Growing Together
Learning is a lifelong process—not just for children, but also for parents and our team. We value a culture of openness and development, where everyone can learn from one another. Through the exchange between parents, children, and caregivers, a community grows together. - Fostering Independence and Responsibility
Every child has a natural need to explore and try things independently. We support them in making their own decisions, taking responsibility, and growing through challenges. This strengthens their confidence and ability to navigate the world. - Maintaining Open Communication
Transparency and mutual trust form the basis for good collaboration with parents. We place great importance on open dialogue, where wishes, questions, and concerns are always welcome. Through regular conversations and honest feedback, we create a trusting atmosphere. - Stimulating Curiosity and Creativity
Children are naturally curious and full of imagination. At our daycare, we provide them with diverse opportunities to express themselves creatively—through painting, crafts, music, or free play. This helps them develop their own ideas and carry them out with confidence. - Fostering Mindfulness and Security
A child can only develop healthily when they feel safe and secure. Through loving attention, clear routines, and plenty of patience, we create an atmosphere where every child feels comfortable. This emotional security forms the foundation for stable development. - Promoting Healthy Nutrition and Physical Activity
Physical and mental development are closely linked. That is why we place great importance on fresh, balanced meals, prepared daily at our daycare. Equally important is physical activity—whether playing on the playground, targeted motor exercises, or daily time spent in nature. - Inspiring a Joy of Learning
Children learn best when they enjoy it. Through playful approaches and an inspiring environment, we spark their natural curiosity and encourage their joy of discovery. Our goal is for them to experience learning as a positive process that accompanies them throughout life. - Child Protection & Children’s Rights
We are committed to providing loving, respectful care based on the principles of the UNICEF Children’s Rights .
With many years of experience and clear values, we are committed with pioneering spirit and innovation to supporting working families and modern early childhood education. As a learning organization, we embrace new approaches and continuously evolve to meet the needs of children and families.
Our team of qualified professionals is highly trained and passionately committed to the well-being of each child. Through continuous professional development and close collaboration with parents, we ensure that the individual needs of the children are always met.
At Blüemli Daycare, we create an environment where children can grow and learn with joy, supported by a team passionately dedicated to their well-being.
