I can highly recommend Children First. My daughter attended kindergarten here and still says it was the best time of her life! As a parent I loved how they incorporated the Montessori philosophy throughout the day which gave her so much independence and built her self-confidence. The way the teachers incorporated the learning themes and the early years curriculum was so creative, she always felt that she was having fun. At the same time she was getting a solid foundation for her future schooling. Forest mornings on Friday were a perfect way to end the week in nature and also inspired us to hike more together as a family. She had a good balance of English and German which prepared her for success when transitioning to 1st grade in the local system. I am forever thankful that she made life long English speaking friends and gained a love for English stories and reading. As she grows up in German speaking Zürich, this is such a special way we can maintain her English so she remains truly bilingual. read more
