Ägerikrippe Day Care Nursery is a world for all children of between three months and 10 years of age.
Play, dream, marvel, learn, enjoy, laugh, and make experiences. There is so much your child can do at Ägerikrippe.
We treat children with respect, as the independent personalities that they are, and keep them company for a while on their journey through life.
What they receive from us is a sense of community, independence, security and trust. With their parents, we maintain a cooperative relationship based on mutual trust, also involving them in our daily activities.
Open rooms and spaces shape our day-to-day life. It is our aim to support the kids in their curiosity and to offer them participation.
Each child can decide for himself or herself what knowledge he or she wishes to learn, strengthen and explore.
Our rooms are functional spaces. Our nursery’s work is guided by the principal themes of free self-realization, social groups, and individual interests.
Settling in is an important milestone for the child’s healthy development at the daycare center. In this video, you will learn how the settling in process works and which steps you have to take into account.
Why is staying at a day care nursery beneficial to your child?
Your child can benefit in many ways from spending his or her days at a day care nursery. Indeed, day-to-day life at the nursery is very enriching for your child. Experiencing communal rituals together, the kids learn how to share their emotions. Together we broaden our horizon going on group outings. Playing together at the nursery, the kids have a lot of fun and get a chance to benefit with and from one another. Exploring the world as an individual, while perfectly preparing your child for the future, also allows him or her to simply be a kid. Because the kids’ needs always come first. And our nursery offers them a wide variety of possibilities to discover and explore new things. And what’s best, they can share their newly found skills with their nursery buddies. All this makes the day care nursery an extraordinary place for playful learning that is perfectly aligned with the kids’ needs.
Our experience shows us that there is a wide variety of supplementary child care possibilities that are basically equal. Irrespective of what type of supplementary child care you choose, whether it is a nanny, Babysitter, leaving your child in the care of the grandparents or a day care nursery, what is important is that you can advocate your choice with conviction. Your personal attitude is the key factor which is instrumental in how your child will feel here at our Oberägeri day care nursery. That’s why we really spend a lot of time getting to know one another. You are very welcome to visit Ägerikrippe Day Care Nursery at any time to see for yourself what we do here and how we do it. Please feel free to discuss your questions and concerns with us. We are firmly convinced that supplementary child care at our nursery and your care at home go hand in hand, and we place a great deal of importance on supporting you as best we can. We are always there for you, your needs and your concerns. Of course, communicating openly and transparently is part of how we work here at Ägerikrippe Day Care Nursery.
When should I reserve a nursery place for my child?
Of course you can register your child at any time. Usually families reserve a nursery place about two to six months prior to the child’s planned arrival here. We recommend that you contact us early, because there are times when we receive many enquiries regarding nursery places and we have to establish waiting lists. That way we have enough time to discuss points that may be unclear and questions that may arise. Here at Ägerikrippe Day Care Nursery at Mitteldorfstrasse 37c in Oberägeri we are, of course, always open to your registration on short notice or your spontaneous registration. We always strive to find an ideal solution for you and your family. So, feel free to contact us today and let us know about the child care needs we can take care of for you.
From what age are children welcome at the nursery?
After the conclusion of the maternity protection period (14 weeks) many day care nurseries will accept your child. And so does Ägerikrippe Day Care Nursery at Mitteldorfstrasse 37c in Oberägeri. We welcome infants from week 14 (i.e., the end of the maternity protection period) and children up to kindergarten age. It is the good age mix that allows the kids to best make progress in their learning. Studies show that children allowed to learn in a mixed-age environment are much more open to cognitive challenges and show a high degree of social skills.
How does the transition from pure family life to life at the nursery work?
It begins with a period of “settling in at the nursery”, during which the teachers, also called caregivers, take a close look at both the child’s and the parents’ needs. The parents, together with their child, repeatedly visit the nursery, one hour at a time, in order to become accustomed to the new situation. Over the entire settling-in period at Ägerikrippe Day Care Nursery we act entirely in accordance with the child’s interests. Our experience shows that just as your child has his or her own personality, he or she will get accustomed to the new situation at his or her own individual pace. That’s why here at Ägerikrippe Day Care Nursery we will individually adjust this settling-in period to your child’s needs. To be able to do so, we draw from our extensive experience, and we are therefore convinced that together with you, dear parents, we will succeed in guranteeing your child an ideal start here at Ägerikrippe Day Care Nursery at Mitteldorfstrasse 37c in Oberägeri. We very much look forward to being part of this exciting new chapter in life.
What do the kids get to eat at the day care nursery?
Day care nurseries follow different approaches when it comes to food. Many will agree that just as every child is diffent from the next, so is the menu. That’s why here at Ägerikrippe Day Care Nursery in Oberägeri we place just as much – i.e. a great deal of –importance on each child’s and our team’s needs as on a sustainable and balanced diet. We always strive to provide them with seasonal, locally-sourced and naturally healthy food. That’s why all meals at Ägerikrippe Day Care Nursery in Oberägeri are prepared fresh daily by a our team. Every day we offer the children a varied lunch and a broad selection of dishes.
How do we recruit the team members of our day care nursery?
Several unique personalities eager to learn complete their training at one of our many day care nurseries every year. This profession, like almost no other, combines passion and enthusiasm in a way that makes it a way of life rather than just an occupation. Most of them already show joy in children as young adults and have experience in babysitting. Children enrich our day-to-day lives, are eager for action every day and are bursting with their joy of life and curiosity. And this is only a small part of what makes the Swiss “FaBe Kind” (professional child carer) diploma and profession so unique.

We take a lot of time to challenge, support and motivate our prospective trainees.

After earning their degree, they have a variety of further career opportunities to choose from. Many young and knowledge-hungry people active in the field of “FaBe Kind” are looking for a high-quality work environment. This provides our nursery facility with the great opportunity to keep working at a high level both in terms of education and quality. We are constantly challenged to reflect on our workflows and our educational actions, and hence to support our teams in various areas.
