A Unique Bilingual Experience

Our distinctive bilingual approach ensures that children alternate between Swiss German and English learning spaces daily, learning from native-speaking teachers and assistants.

This immersive experience builds a strong foundation in both languages, fostering confidence and communication skills in a playful, engaging way.

Curriculum

Learning Through Play

Play is at the heart of our 1st Kindergarten experience. Through thoughtfully designed activities, children develop curiosity, independence, and a love for learning. Our programme blends elements of the Swiss Curriculum (Lehrplan 21) with aspects of the British Curriculum, focusing on key areas such as personal, social, and emotional development, language and literacy, physical growth, mathematics, and the creative arts.

In 1st Kindergarten, we introduce children to the world of reading through phonics, laying the groundwork for future literacy skills. Our fun, interactive lessons emphasize speaking, listening, and phonological awareness, preparing your child for continued learning in 2nd Kindergarten.

We love the international community in Four Forest as well as the full day offerings for the little ones, which accommodate for the busy schedules of working parents very well.

At Four Forest, we believe in creating a joyful and stimulating environment where your child can flourish.
