Hi, just curious... how much you need for send your kid to a prekindergarten or kinderkrippe?
thanks a lot

A good source is to inquire at your local Family information center I'm sure they will have the relevent information.

The cost for a full day will probably be in the region of CHF110.

Ranging from Chf100 to Chf130 per day. Usually a bit more expensive for baby up to 8 months.
If your child is more than 3 years, worth searching for a montessorri which charge at around Chf75 per day.
Also, if your total household income is less than certain bracket, you can ask for the government subsidy.

We've recently put our names on 5 waiting lists in Seefeld Zurich. The daily rate ranges from 130 to 150sf-this is for children under 2. They all have min one year waiting list and want a 1000sf non-refundable deposit PLUS 2 months down as another deposit which will go for the last 2 months in the school. So basically they want around 6000sf up-front..ridiculous!!

Yikes, they seem to have Zürich really hiked. We pay 90chf per day ...
Also had to wait 4 months to get in ....

What??? That's extremely ridiculous. Why not search other krippe then? For me no deposit or upfront. And 100 per day. No long summer break, open all year round except for public holidays. Waited only 2 months.
