Day care

Kita Kiriku Lucerne is a day nursery for children from 3 months old to school age. The admittance of children to our nursery takes place irrespective of ethnic origin, nationality, religious beliefs or earning capacity of the parents.

License
The Kita Kiriku Lucerne nursery holds a license of the guardianship agency of Lucerne (Luzerner Vormundschaftsbehörde) and works according to the guidelines of the SLV (Sozialvorsteher-Verband Kanton Luzern).

Staff
The nursery adheres to recognized educational principles. Every group of children is being supervised by a qualified nursery teacher and an apprentice or intern at all times.

Program
The daily routine in the nursery is structured according to the individual needs of the children. The days at the nursery are well-balanced with a variety of activities like playing in- and outdoors and exploring their world in a stimulating environment, as well as eating and relaxing during down-times. Weather permitting we take the children outside every day, for them to let off steam, play and generally experience and enjoy the outdoors. There are many recreational areas, woods and play grounds close to the nursery which we visit frequently.
