Special offer for knowitall.ch readers (see conditions below)

If you have a young child, the chances are that you will have experienced that worrying feeling when you leave your child in the care of someone else, even if that person is a qualified childcare professional, trained to look after children.

Whether you are looking for a permanent solution that will enable you to grab a few hours to yourself at the same time each week, or you just need a drop-in center where you can leave your child from time to time, it can be difficult to find childcare that matches all your needs.  High quality, flexible daycare provided by experienced and professional personnel is simply not as easy to find as you may think - and compromise is just not an option!

We have now updated our list of Christmas church services for 2014.  If you would like to attend one of the many services happening in Geneva, Vaud and neighboring France this year, please take a look at the following list, which we have compiled from the websites of local churches. Some of them are French-speaking but most are English-speaking churches. Please check the websites before setting out, in case any of the times or locations have changed.

If your local church has not yet posted details of their services, please come back and check the article again later, as we will update the list when details become available.

If you know about other services in your area, please let us know.

The St-Légier-based, family-run Haut-Lac International Bilingual School has just opened a bilingual (French/English) nursery close to the lakeside in the Rue du Nord, Vevey.

Going under the name of “Les Marronniers - La Crèche Haut-Lac”, the nursery welcomes toddlers aged from 18 months to 3 years. It is based on the same child-centred philosophy as the other sections (infant, primary and secondary) of the Haut-Lac school, which has been in operation for over 20 years. With the opening of this additional section, Haut-Lac offers parents the possibility to choose a fully bilingual education for children aged from 18 months to 18 years within the same establishment.

At the “Les Marronniers - La Crèche Haut-Lac”, a professional, friendly, and talented team of educators has been put in place to welcome up to 30 full time children.  Their daily bilingual approach (French/English), using the “one person/one language” concept, allows each child to learn, use and develop both languages. Children socialise with each other while playing together, singing songs, and being creative in arts and crafts, as well as during lunch and snack times. A secure playground allows for stimulating outdoor play and children are also taken for strolls by the teaching assistants each day.
