Good quality in early childhood care is of enormous importance and we are aware of our responsibility and role in it. In all our kids & co daycare centres in Bern, Zurich, Suisse romande as well as in our licensed establishments in Basel, we implement our high-quality pedagogical concept and stand for high pedagogical quality. Our pedagogical concept was evaluated by the Marie Meierhofer Institute for the Child (MMI). We regularly reflect on this and integrate practical experience and the latest research findings. Our more than 20 years of experience in childcare support us in this.

Each region has a specially created position – the “kids & co manager”. The manager ensures that all employees of kids & co implement the principles of our educational concept in their daily work. This enables us to achieve our high and uniform quality standards. The care personnel as well as the management of the daycare centres are regularly trained and exchange information in different settings within the daycare centres and also across the daycare centres. The company management is available as a point of contact for both employees and parents.

Permanently installed quality-control processes help us to constantly improve and further develop ourselves. Internal assessment is just as important to us as a professional view from the outside. We ensure this by certifying our kids & co daycare centres with trustworthy quality labels:

Fourchette verte

The label stands for balanced nutrition. Our kids & co daycare centres with this label offer meals according to the specifications of the Swiss food pyramid. If needed, they are supported by a nutritionist.
