Children First International Swiss kindergarten and pre-school education for multi-lingual children in Zurich. Their physical comfort is close to psychological well-being.

We follow a child development and Montessori curriculum which includes pre-reading and fine motor (pre-writing) skills, self- care, contained behaviour and concentration. In addition, we provide Early Years activities that encourage self-expression, listening skills, physical and cognitive development. Preparation for school expands the natural abilities of each child to copy, to explore, to practice and to develop their interests. Socially, children need to encounter others in stable groups, and to learn how to manage their feelings in a range of situations. Children learn in many different ways, in the context of structure and routine. One important aspect for adults to observe is the interrelation between body and mind. Their bodies give sometimes only partly understood messages that are important for their peace of mind. If a child’s first language is English, then joining Children First will preserve a sense of culture and belonging. If a speaker of other languages at home, he or she must have already learnt English before joining. We recommend that children need to attend a minimum of two full days, three short days or four mornings to settle into their groups. Language introduces negotiation and ability to share toys and enjoy group games.

🌞 A summer walk by the Zürisee
While the public schools are closed the Children First holiday care programme was in full swing! One of the highlights of our Sensory fun weeks was a beautiful walk by Lake Zurich. We enjoyed the sparkling lake right here in our own city.

From watching boats glide by and touching the bark of trees to smelling flowers and touching giant modern sculptures—every moment was a chance to learn through movement, nature, and curiosity.

These simple experiences help children connect with the world around them using all their senses. 🌿👃👀✋👂

We’re already looking forward to the next adventure!

At Children First, we take Montessori’s words to heart. Our curated bilingual curriculum is designed to nurture the whole child emotionally, socially, and cognitively in English and German. With small group sizes and native-speaking educators, we foster self-expression, independence, and a love of learning.
Happiness here isn’t accidental—it’s our goal. Because when children feel valued, engaged, and understood, they thrive–and that’s the true measure of success.
