Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone knows of any Brazilian play groups for babies and/or young children in the greater Zurich area. I am willing to travel quite a bit in case there are none around here so if you know one outside this area I would still be interested.
If it turns out that there aren't any I was wondering if there are any Brazilian parents who would be interested in setting up a play group for their kids together with me. My daughter is 30 months old.

I really appreciate your help.
Cheers,
CG210

My baby has 18 months and I'm interested too. If you know something, let me know.

Hi Fla,

It looks like we are the only ones on the forum who are interested
Unfortunately I don't know any Brazilians with children in Switzerland - do you know more Brazilians with children who might be interested in meeting up with the kids? Playing with other children in Portuguese is such a good way for them to keep the language 'alive'.
Obrigada!

I have heard that there is a playgroup at the church in Baar. I too would be interested for the kids but I don't speak enough to call up and ask.

Hi Marie,

do you know which church in Baar? My German is very limited but I could try speaking to them.

There is a Portuguese Mass at the St. Martin church in Baar at 9.15 every sunday. I just looked at their website and I see no creche for kids though. http://www.pfarrei-baar.ch/gottesdienst.htm

We have a spanish speaking lady at my son's spielgruppe in Zug and now they do Spanish classes. My son is 4 and he understands Portuguese but is scared to speak. I would love to find him somewhere nearby.

Searching for "portugiesische spielgruppe site:.ch" in google I see these ones:

There is one in Winterthur: http://www.spielgruppenwinti.ch/spie...toess_2010.pdf

One in Zurich:
