QualiKita-Certification

OUR KITA REGENBOGEN IS QUALIKITA CERTIFIED!

We are very proud of this achievement! In June 2015 our Kita Regenbogen was awarded with the highest award for children's day care centres in Switzerland, following a three-day audit. We are now a "QualiKita Certified Children's Day Center", awarded by kibesuisse and the Jacobs Foundation. Out of 280 Kitas in Zurich, only 17 are currently bear the QualiKita certified.

QUALIKITA – THE ULTIMATE LABEL FOR DAYCARE CENTers

From international research it is known that early childhood has fundamental influence in adult age. If the caregivers of a day care center appropriately attend to the fluctuating needs of children, it could have significant impacts on their development. The quality of a childcare center is crucial and ought to ensure that children are able to move up to kindergarten or school whilst being socially and emotionally balanced.

QualiKita is a Swiss-wide quality label for day care centers. For the first time ever, the label defines a national standard. QualiKita records all quality dimensions of a day care center with focus on pedagogical and operational quality.

The high quality of early childhood education, care and upbringing is crucial for the positive development of the children. This is why QualiKita promotes quality development in day care centres. Parents and children benefit from a certified day care centre in a professional environment for the collective good of the children.

QualiKita makes this quality visible and ensures transparency. It distinguishes the challenging efforts done at day care centers. In addition, the label shows the public what quality means in early childhood education, care and development.

Experts regularly visit a certified day care centre through an independent certification body. The day care centre strives to achieve the highest in quality development, as a joint effort.

QualiKita – The best for your child!

 

Le prix s’oublie, la qualité reste

This year everything seems different than in previous years: Corona, mask requirement and all the uncertainties that this pandemic triggers. And yet one thing has remained constant: for the third time, KitaRegenbogen has met all criteria in all eight quality areas!

At the beginning of November 2020, the KitaRegenbogen was inspected by an independent auditor for two days. She closely observed the work with the children in the groups, conducted interviews with the staff and checked our concepts, folders and dossiers.

According to this audit, the KitaRegenbogen fulfills all 107 of the 107 quality criteria specified by the QualiKita standard.

 

We are very grateful that, despite the extraordinary situation that 2020 has brought, the auditor has confirmed to us that the children in the KitaRegenbogen did not have to accept any loss of quality compared to the previous year. We can still officially be one of the few best daycare centers in Switzerland that have achieved this maximum result.

And yet that’s no reason to rest. We see ourselves as a learning organization – we learn new things every day. With our children – and our adult customers. And we will do everything in our power to maintain this level – and to continue to improve where necessary, possible or simply desirable.

 

♪♫♬ Oouups – we did it again!  ♪♫♬

What an amazing result! For the second time, the KitaRegenbogen team has met all criteria in all eight quality areas!

At the beginning of June 2019, the KitaRegenbogen was inspected by an independent auditor for two days. She closely observed the work with the children in the groups, conducted interviews with the staff and checked our concepts, folders and dossiers.

According to this audit, the KitaRegenbogen fulfills all 107 of the 107 quality criteria specified by the QualiKita standard.

 

We are happy, grateful and also a little proud that we can officially count ourselves among the few best daycare centers in Switzerland that have achieved this maximum result. And we thank our customers for their trust in our work, without which this service would not be possible. ♥

Again Great Results In the Circuit of April 2018

In April 2018 we were again visited by the QualiKita certification body. And again we achieved an excellent result.

According to the current audit, Kita Regenbogen fulfills 110 of the 113 quality criteria specified by QualiKita standards.

This leads to a 100% target achievement in the transparency report in six of the eight quality areas!

In two areas we got some good feedback to improve our services. The praise of your very high quality and the hints for topics where we can get better gives us a high motivation to show again an excellent quality during the next audit!

 

RECORD RESULTS IN THE CIRCUIT OF FEBRUARY 2017

We are very proud to announce that we have been awarded a particularly high assessment from QualiKita certification body today:

According to the current audit, Kita Regenbogen fulfills all of the 113 quality criteria specified by QualiKita standards.

This leads to a 100% target achievement in the transparency report in all eight quality areas!

As a result, KitaRegenbogen is currently the number one quality certified of daycare centre in the city of Zurich. Out of 71 QualiKitas certified day care centres in Switzerland, we are the third to achieve this commendable result.

 

 

The team of Kita Regenbogen has thus laid a milestone in quality development in the past year. This great achievement would not have been possible without the cooperation of parents, partners, sponsors and friends.

We would like to sincerely thank all of those involved for their support and trust in us. We are taking this award as an opportunity to continue to our work and dedicate our energy in quality development in the coming years.

We look forward to further collaboration and the growth of Kita Regenbogen with you.
