About our Preschool….

Little Learners

When children are playing, children are learning! At Luus Muus Bilingual Preschool, We believe that children should be in charge of their play and learning because when children get to make choices, try out different methods, and lead their own experiments, it makes all the difference to their learning.

We accommodate up to 12 children per day, aged between 2-4 years.

Location

Luus Muus Bilingual Preschool on the 2nd floor of Gewerbestrasse 9, 8132 Egg b. Zurich 

Our indoor play activities and learning experiences are thoughtfully designed to cater to the diverse age and developmental needs of the children, as we firmly believe that children thrive when their environment aligns with their interests and developmental stages.

Philosophy

Learning through play provides opportunities for children to develop a sense of the world around them through inquiry, exploration, interaction and problem solving. Teachers take advantage of the natural curiosity of children and encourage them to use all their senses, communicate their thoughts and emotions, explore their environment, and connect what they already know with new knowledge, skills and attitudes.

Curriculum

 

Language Development 

We emphasize language acquisition with a bilingual approach, using both German and English throughout the day. Our teachers adapt to each child's individual level of language development, facilitating growth through songs, repetition of poems, finger play, circle activities, and interactive reading sessions.

Early Mathematical Skills 

We explore mathematical concepts, including data gathering and analysis, numbers, patterning, measurement, shapes, and colors through transdisciplinary units of inquiry and play.

A Day at Preschool…

Arrival - Upon arrival, the teachers greet each child, guiding them to a chosen activity or play experience. We recognize the importance of transition, so parents are welcome to remain with their children until they feel comfortable in our setting. 

Free play - During this time, children have the autonomy to navigate the classroom, choosing activities that resonate with them. Our space is thoughtfully organized with age-suitable resources, presented in an engaging manner for all. On Mondays, children will be leaving for the forest upon arrival. 

Circle time - All the children and the teachers sit together for the circle time. The circle time is conducted in German and English and children are prompted to join the discussions, singing and storytelling. 

Morning Snack (Znuni) - Children enjoy seasonal fruits and crackers during the snack time.

Academic Provocations - During this period, Children explore a range of structured activities tailored to promote cognitive growth, pre literacy, and early mathematical skills. From arts and crafts to sensory-driven experiences and motor activities, our curriculum is diverse and stimulating. 

Lunch - At Luus Muus, we emphasize healthy eating, offering a diverse menu of vegan and gluten-free meals. Children try new foods, and enjoy the variety of meals. (Adjustments are made for allergies and dietary requirements)
