Daycare & after-school care at Lake Zurich in Thalwil
Where your little ones can dream big.
WHAT WE STAND FOR.
Together
At Thalito, the focus is on togetherness. We promote appreciative collaboration with parents, children and our team. Continuous exchange is essential for us in order to accompany the development of each child individually and to respond to their needs. Daily dialogue with the children is just as important so that they feel like they belong. Our employees work closely together, exchange information regularly and thus contribute to harmonious coexistence.
Healthy
Children's health is the core of our work. We create a safe and secure environment that offers space for personal development. A healthy, balanced diet is part of our holistic approach because it supports the children's mental, physical and emotional well-being. The well-being of our employees is also important to us: regular breaks and sustainable use of resources ensure a healthy working environment.
Appearance
Our passion for working with children is reflected in the constant development of our concepts and ideas. We offer high-quality support and educational opportunities, which are implemented by our dedicated team. At the same time, we promote the professional and personal development of our employees so that they can achieve their goals. Because their professionalism and dedication are the key to our success.
Life
With a clear structure and fixed routines, we offer the children security and space to grow. We actively involve them in everyday life, promote their interests and strengthen their independence through age-appropriate offers. For us, close cooperation with parents is essential in order to ensure an optimal complement to home education. Our goal is that the children feel safe with us and can grow up in a harmonious environment.
Ideal
Children learn through imitation, and we are aware of our role as role models – for the children, the families and in the team. We strive to teach children social and cultural values that will make them strong for the future. Within our team, we also value equality, trust and encounters at eye level. We can only pass on these values successfully if we set a good example.
Tongue
Language development is our focus, especially in a multicultural environment. We not only promote the German language, but also Spanish as a second world language in order to strengthen cultural diversity. Through our bilingual approach, we enable children to develop an open and inclusive perspective on the world. Our employees speak several languages and are therefore able to respond individually to the needs of families.
Origin
Regardless of origin, religion or individual strengths and weaknesses, we accept and support every child. Each child brings their own story and we support them in living that story with pride. Our employees also come from different cultural backgrounds, and we value the diversity they bring to our team. Flat hierarchies and mutual respect characterize our collaboration.
Where children aren’t the only ones to discover life.
Every parent, and their children, can count on the following highlights:
KLEINE WOHLFÜHLWELT IN EINER SICHEREN UND PRIVATEN PARKANLAGE MIT GRÜNFLÄCHEN UND RÜCKZUGSORTEN
ZWEISPRACHIGE BETREUUNG MIT EINER SPANISCHEN UND DEUTSCHEN GRUPPE IN BUNTEN GRUPPENRÄUMEN
INDIVIDUELLE GESTALTUNG ALLER LEHRPROZESSE
ZWISCHEN KIND UND BETREUUNGSPERSON
ALTERSDURCHMISCHTEN GRUPPE UND GRUPPENÜBERGREIFENDE PROJEKTE FÜR EINE
ALTERSSPEZIFISCHE FÖRDERUNG
In addition, our concept enables all our parents to flexibly re-enter professional life, launch new projects or return to work. On request, any mother or father can remain close to their children and discover a new kind of working in our offices or workspaces. We’d be more than happy to tell you more about our educational concept in person. There is a copy of our educational concept at Thalito for all our parents to look through.
Here we play, learn and laugh.
Where flexibility makes the difference.
Whether infants from the age of 3 months or toddlers from 19 months: we offer flexible childcare from two to five days a week, or by special arrangement.
We handle every enquiry on an individual basis. In our initial discussion, we want to understand your childcare needs, first of all, so we can then put together the perfect offer for you.

FAQ
Thalito is open from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM.
In the morning, children can be dropped off until 9:00 AM, and pick-up time starts at 4:30 PM.
It is important to us to meet the needs of families.
Therefore, we kindly ask you to get in touch with us if your schedule requires different arrangements.
In the period between Christmas and New Year (24.12 – 02.01.) the Thalito will be closed due to the company holidays. There are no other closing times during the year.
The food for the main meal at lunchtime is prepared fresh daily by our cook from the in-house café. We attach great importance to providing a varied and balanced meal for the children. Whenever possible, we use organic ingredients. The snacks and baby food are freshly prepared by us. If necessary, we also offer mothers the possibility to breastfeed their babies.
Our aim is to satisfy the children’s urge to explore and move. We therefore spend as much time as possible outside, at least 1 time per day of sufficient length.
We like to make use of the various surrounding possibilities such as the Traumgarten, Park im Grüene or the forest. From time to time, excursions to museums and other localities are planned. Parents are always informed in advance about larger excursions.
We have two age-mixed groups at Thalito. Our group Nano is bilingually (Spanish and German), our group Luna is an absolute German-speaking group. Inter-group activities are also regularly planned to encourage contact between children of the same age.
This includes Lillydoo diapers, all meals (incl. baby food), all care products such as toothbrush, toothpaste, creams for the nappy area, sun cream.
To be brought by the parents: milk powder and bottles, changing clothes, water bottle, slippers.
Usually, it takes 2 full days to sufficiently integrate the child in our Thalito. It is also important for us to know the parents’ wishes and to adapt the offer if necessary. Our day care management will be happy to talk to you personally about this.
We have 12 places per group that can be filled. Children under 18 months are charged 1 ½ places. We accept a maximum of 3 children under 18 months per group. Babies from 3 months are welcome. We have children up to the age of 8 in the after-school care center.
- a family structure in the mixed-age groups
- Inter-group cooperation and age-specific support
- a motivated team with regularly further education
- Bilingualism in the care structure (with a Spanish – German group)
- Co-construction: the learning process between child and caregivers are designed together The focus of the learning work is on the child’s discovery and research as well as on the discovery of art
- Above-average employment conditions for the childcare staff as well as constructive cooperation in the team for a pleasant working atmosphere to be able to guarantee stable relationships between child and caregiver
- a beautiful and private park area with a large meadow for the children of Thalito and plenty of space in the group rooms for development
The pedagogical concept can be requested and reviewed in the café over a cup of coffee or tea.
We welcome all parents who want to take advantage of our innovative and unique concept of combining co-working and childcare. Parents who have their child looked after at Thalito receive a 50% discount on the rates for flexible co-working spaces. For calls and meetings, there are plenty of meeting rooms available in the villa, which can be used free of charge at any time.
We work very successfully with the Famly app. It serves as a communication channel between staff and parents and also provides insight into the children’s daily routines. Photos, reports from excursions and activities, and even our weekly menu are regularly shared with parents via the app. In addition, our monthly newsletter keeps parents up to date, offering more detailed information about current topics at our facility.
- Door-to-door conversations (these are rather short)
- Entry interviews (before settling in)
- During the acclimatization process, we like to take time to talk to the parents in order to establish an optimal basis of trust
- Review interview (about three months after settling in)
- Development meeting (once a year)
- Exit interview
