School holidays in Geneva - any ideas?
Hello
We have just moved to Geneva from Australia. We have our 5 year old daughter in school and our 2 year old son with a maman-de-jour. Soon it will be summer holidays and both the school and the maman-de-jour will close for a long time. My husband and I both work full-time and we don't have any family or support in Switzerland, or even in Europe! We are wondering what the local children do during the holidays.
I have contacted the local slj (govt department for youth) and they have various options such as camps and day-activities. I cannot imagine sending my 5 year old away for a week-long camp, and the day-activities are mostly for 8 year olds and above. I have just two options suitable for her, so that leaves another 6 weeks to fill. Even nannies are hard to find because they are taking their holidays too! We can take a family holiday for one week, but any ideas for the rest will be gratefully appreciated...
