Re: Day Care Credentials
Not sure if I can help you with Zurich, as live in Vaud, as it is very canton specific.
To give you an idea of VD, they have recently enacted new laws that tighten the criteria for this. It depends on what type of establishment, the number of children, and the age of the children. For example in VD, for babies and toddlers in a group day care establishment, there needs to be a minimum number of staff with a "recognised professional title" at the Secondary II level and at the Tertiary level. The number and the ratio of these staff depends on the number of children and the age of children. I would guess from the Vaud language "recognised professional title" has some leeway, but you would probably have to provide equivalence through some authority. There is a swiss CFC in child care, in which most of the staff at my daughters creche have, or are in the process of completing. This involves formal classes as well as on the job experience/training.
