Spacious and calm
The parents who visit us and take a tour of our building always comment on the comfort, brightness and serenity of the place – not to mention the endless space! All the members of our educational staff know all the children, and vice versa. We feel this is important, as we seek to accommodate the different needs of each individual child. For example, a restless baby can find peace again in our hanging crib, because the gentle rocking back and forth offers comfort and security.Following the Home rhythm
All playgroups are delighted to have their own separate kitchen, bathroom, and two bedrooms. They are designed in such a way that we can provide them with continuous care and attention, respecting your children’s natural rhythm at home as much as possible. We prepare our oldest toddlers for elementary school through various types of activities, for example writing letters in bird sand or using tweezers to pick up objects, both of which help them develop their fine motor skills.Large, green garden
Outdoors, children have more freedom and tend to feel more independent, and our large garden (with plenty of shade) is entirely designed to facilitate this. There are discovery paths, hiding places, and spaces for getting together or (if the mood strikes you) spending some time on your own. You’ll also be pleased to know that we offer easy, complimentary parking.

Adventurous gardenOur large green garden with shaded areas really invites children to explore and play. Everything is designed to encourage a child to discover in our adventurous garden.

Interactive movement programEvery day, the toddlers exercise with Friends call me Jim. Using characters and magical stories, we stimulate the children's imagination and experiences, helping them discover the joy of movement.

Special toddler activitiesFor the toddlers, we often deliberately split the group. This allows us to cater to the different developmental stages of the children. We do this with the oldest toddlers (3+) to prepare them for primary school.
On our childcare center, we have horizontal groups
Every child lives in a world where everything impresses – and everything has an impact. That is why we work with horizontal groups at our childcare locations.

I work at Kindergarden because I truly feel at home here. The warm and respectful atmosphere suits me well and aligns with my way of working. Working with children is more than just a job to me. I have a deep love for children, and especially for babies.
In this very first stage of their lives, the foundation of their upbringing is formed. With every small step, every reaction, and every moment of attention, they learn from us. This makes our work incredibly meaningful, as we contribute to their development and their future.
As Deputy Location Manager, I work closely with the location manager to contribute to the quality and development of the centre. I support the team and help think along in the day-to-day management. In addition to this role, I also work directly in the group. As a pedagogical professional, I guide children in their development and encourage them to explore the world around them in a safe and familiar environment.
As a pedagogical expert, my goal is to maintain a high level of pedagogical quality at the centre together with the location manager. Alongside this rewarding role, I also work directly with the children in the group. As a pedagogical professional, I encourage children to discover themselves and the world around them.
Frequently asked questions about our childcare
To increase the chances of securing a spot, we recommend enrolling your child as soon as possible at our childcare. We take your preferences into account during our planning and strive to fulfill your wishes to the best of our ability.
That depends on various factors including preferred days, how many days you need, and how flexible you are. For example, the likelihood of a placement becoming available for one day is greater than three or four days becoming available in one go. The more flexible you are as a parent, the greater the likelihood that we will be able to offer you a place.
If you’re seeking a place quickly, we’d be happy to look at the options available in our schedule. At the busier locations, we often work approximately four months ahead, so it can take some time before you hear from us. If there’s a waiting list, we rely on cancellations/schedule changes for new places to become available.
Are you pregnant and looking for a place in the longer term? We have horizontal groups at Kindergarden and this affects how far ahead we can plan. Horizontal means that children move on to the next group at a certain time. As we take a child’s development and age and the days that a child spends at the daycare center into account, we plan four to six months ahead, depending on how busy the center is. A schedule can also change a lot. Factors that influence this include registration of siblings (they are given priority), schedule changes for children who already have a placement (switching days or increasing the number of days), and cancellations.
