📍 Kita Bärlis – Granitweg 6 · Your second family in the heart of Zurich District 6

Some places feel like home from the very first moment. That’s exactly what we hope for every child at Granitweg 6—right in the heart of Zurich’s lively 6th district, not far from Unterstrass and easily accessible by tram and car. For parents who appreciate short commutes in their daily lives, this location is ideal: there are exclusive parking spaces right outside the door for dropping off and picking up children, and the tram stop is just around the corner.

What matters starts from within. At our school, children grow up with consistent caregivers who have worked together for years and remain part of their lives. This consistency—few changes, familiar faces day after day—is the foundation on which trust, genuine bonds, and emotional strength grow. The main languages at Granitweg are German and Swiss German, within a warm, clearly structured daily routine that still leaves plenty of room to support each child individually.

No two days are alike. Free play is followed by creative sessions featuring art, music, dance, and piano, interspersed with fun physical activities—swimming, gym class, yoga, and weekly field trips. Our own forest and nature group explores the outdoors, using a forest cabin as a retreat, and once a week we spend the whole day out and about on “World Explorer Day.” Lunch is cooked with love: fresh, organic meals every day, prepared by Alberta and Massimo—eating together, discovering new flavors, and looking forward to lunch every day.

As an award-winning “Purzelbaum KiTa” in the city of Zurich, Granitweg stands for physical activity, healthy eating, and learning without pressure to perform—right in the heart of Zurich’s 6th district. It is a place of stability, closeness, and security, where the early years unfold exactly as they should be remembered.
