Day 93 : Early Childhood Education in Zurich, Switzerland
2025.05.28

Zurich, Switzerland’s largest city, reflects the country’s decentralized but structured approach to early childhood education. Kindergarten (“Kindergarten” in German-speaking regions) typically begins at age four or five and is compulsory for at least two years before primary school ([Reference 1]).
Education policies are determined by cantons, but Zurich follows the “Lehrplan 21” ([Reference 2]), a harmonized curriculum framework focusing on language skills, social-emotional development, and basic scientific thinking through play-based learning.
Zurich emphasizes bilingualism from an early stage. Many public kindergartens offer early German-English programs, and migrant children’s language support (“DaZ” – Deutsch als Zweitsprache) is well established ([Reference 3]).
Furthermore, Zurich prioritizes inclusive education, providing tailored support for children with special needs and integrating them into mainstream classrooms wherever possible.
As a kindergarten director, I am impressed by Zurich’s careful balance: maintaining high academic standards while respecting each child’s developmental pace and multicultural background—a model that harmonizes excellence and humanity.
