FAQ

What is your staff to child ratio?

Our staff to child ratio varies depending on the age range of the children. For babies, we have a ratio of 1:3, for toddlers it is 1:4, and for preschoolers it is 1:8. We always make sure to have enough staff on hand to provide safe and attentive care for all children.

What is your policy on sick children attending the creche?

We have a strict policy that sick children should not attend the creche. If a child exhibits symptoms of illness, they will be sent home and asked to stay away until they are no longer contagious. This is to ensure the health and safety of all the children in our care.

What activities do you offer for children of different ages?

We offer a wide range of age-appropriate activities for children of different ages, including music and movement, story time, outdoor play, arts and crafts, and more. We tailor our activities to the developmental needs and interests of each age group.

What are your hours of operation?

Our creche is open from 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday. We offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times within these hours to accommodate the needs of working parents.

What is your policy on potty-training?

We work with parents to support children who are in the process of potty-training. We ask that parents provide extra changes of clothes and diapers/pull-ups as needed. We also encourage communication between parents and staff to ensure consistency in potty-training methods between home and the creche.

    Our daughter is in her second year at KISH and our 28month old son just started. I truly don’t know how to express how happy we are with the children there. Katharina and the team enable every child to grow confidently and independently and explore the world in it‘s natural state while in a safe and loving environment and learning at their pace. The care and attention the children get and specific to individual needs is, I believe, unique to KISH. I’ll be very sad when the children have to move from KISH but I know that when they do they will have been given the best tools to thrive outside of KISH. Thank you isn‘t enough!

    KISH Kindergarten has been the best start our children could have - the team live the KISH values for and with the children and this together with the outdoor concept KISH has been a wonderful and meaningful part of their lives that will stay with all four of them for the rest of their lives. It has brought them a kind and thoughtful understanding of relationships with peers and adults and a deep connection to the outside, the world around us and peace and expression in exploring, imaginative play and arts and crafts both with any and all materials! The children are incredibly well and thoughtfully cared for and truly become a community and family to each other, staff and parents. Thank you KISH 🙏 😊 ❤️ 🌳 🍂

    I can highly recommend Kish Kindergarten . Our children were looked after with so much love and the whole Kindergarten Team is amazing. The children become like a little family and it’s a beautiful atmosphere. The forest is just on the other side and my children enjoyed the adventure trips there . The outdoor concept is well combined with the indoor space . The Team always tries to be flexible when we needed more childcare spontaneously . The Kindergarten has their own cook and the food is healthy and the children still love it. Thank you Kish Kindergarten!!

    Our son went to Kish for two years and absolutely loved it. So much so that he still mentions the nursery regularly and makes comments when we are driving in its vicinity. The level of care he received was unparalleled and Katharina, Marlene and the others were extremely kind with our son and informative around his progress and development. The character building that comes from the rugged outdoor angle and the way the nursery powered through the multiple lockdowns meant that my son was hardly affected by the troubling times that we all faced. For this and for the fact that children at Kish are allowed to be kids I will always be grateful. Superb place with superb staff and great kids.

    Had all 3 kids with Katharina & Team over the years. If all children could visit KISH society would have less problems in the future. Perfect start for kids with grounded teachers who have their heads at the right places. The perfect balance between exposure to nature and ever lasting values. Keep going.

    We have had all 3 of our children go to KISH and we cannot say enough good things about the team and the program. The girls were able to experience forest adventures, toy free weeks, arts and crafts, music and fun learning which encouraged them to become more confident, independent, and ready for their formal school years that followed. Our girls were sad to leave their KISH family behind as they moved into School but hold so many fond memories. We highly recommend Katharina, and the whole KISH crew!

    The best nursery - so glad I found this gem. My boy absolutely loves Kish and so does his parents. Katharina and the staff are fabulous - kind, patient, loving, understanding. I feel very confident to leave my boy here knowing he is safe and well looked after.
