Kita Wunderkind is a bilingual daycare located in Zürich-Enge, just behind Swiss Life, a two-minute walk from Lake Zurich.

We are a state-approved childcare centre providing a bilingual German-English environment (60/40) for children from approximately 3 months of age until kindergarten entry. Children are cared for in age-appropriate groups and supported according to our own pedagogical concept, with a strong focus on individual development, language, independence, social-emotional learning, creativity and learning through everyday experiences.

Job Description:

For the 60% part-time position, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are mandatory working days. Candidates applying for the part-time position must therefore be available on all three days.

• Supporting children during meals, hygiene routines, transitions, rest periods and other everyday situations
• Participating in outdoor activities, walks, excursions and movement activities
• Reading regularly with the children and actively promoting language and early literacy
• Observing children's individual needs, interests and development and sharing relevant observations with the pedagogical team
• Helping to prepare and maintain an organised, stimulating and child-friendly group environment
• Working closely and professionally with the Group Leader, Kita Management and the wider educational team
• Following our pedagogical concept, safeguarding standards, hygiene procedures and internal policies
• Contributing proactively to team meetings, planning and the continuous development of the group
