Kindergarten 1 & 2

Learning Tribe Bilingual Elementary School for Kindergarten 1 & 2.

Learning Tribe Bilingual Elementary School for Kindergarten 1 & Kindergarten 2 supports children transition from Preschool into mainstream schooling.

Our Kindergarten and its curriculum are officially recognised by the Kanton Schwyz and we support our children transition into Grade 1 either through to a public school or a private/bilingual school route.

Our Kindergarten is characterized by our bilingual education program following the Swiss curriculum (Lehrplan 21) and the Learning Tribe International Curriculum.

Our Learning Program

The daily teaching languages in our Kindergarten are German and English. Children learn the 2 languages in a playful, creative and natural atmosphere. The children are exposed to the core subjects of Language & Literacy, Development and Mathematics, as well as all foundation subjects listed below:

1. Theme (Knowledge and Understanding of the World)
2. Sports and Gymnastics (Physical Development)
3. Creative Development (Expressive Art and Design)
4. Emotional Care (Personal and Social Development)

All lessons are held by our qualified and well-trained teachers, who hold a great depth of pedagogical skills and experience.

Opening Hours

While our Kindergarten follows the mandatory school holidays, we offer year around care and education. Our opening hours for both the Daycare and Kindergarten are from 07:30 to 18:30. During school holidays we offer a special designed holiday program.

Kindergarten officially begins at 08:15 and finishes at 15:30.

Physical Education

We plan a balanced, age appropriate and fun program for Sports and Gymnastics at the external sports hall once a week. Our weekly program also includes a morning visit to the forest. We also organise various projects and excursions where our children get real-life experiences outside of the classroom.

Kindergarten at Learning Tribe

At Learning Tribe Kindergarten, we create a joyful and stimulating environment where children thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Our program is designed to nurture curiosity, foster independence, and lay a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

Enrollment Open Year-Round

We welcome children throughout the academic year 2025/2026, as well as for the following year 2026/2027. Families can choose between full-day and half-day options, allowing flexibility that best suits your child’s needs and your family’s schedule.

🌱 A Curriculum that Inspires

Our teaching combines the best of the Swiss Lehrplan 21 and the International Curriculum, ensuring children are well-prepared whether they continue in Swiss schools or international pathways. Each child is encouraged to explore, question, and create, supported by a balance of structured learning and free play.

Language Program

English: We follow the Jolly Phonics program, which introduces children to sounds, letters, and early reading skills in a playful and engaging way.

German: We use the Leseschlau program, giving children strong foundations in phonics, early reading, and language structure.

Children develop communication, vocabulary, and confidence in both English and German through songs, stories, and daily interactions.

Our math program is hands-on and theme-based, covering key areas such as:

Number and counting
Measurement and capacity
Number problems and problem-solving
Patterns and sequencing
Shape, space, and early geometry
Logical thinking and reasoning

Outdoor learning and nature exploration
Creative arts and music
Sports and movement sessions
Weekly visits to the Turnhalle, where children meet sports learning objectives and enjoy the large gym hall facilities
