    Parent Testimonials

    Hear from our community

    Meine Tochter besucht seit ihrem dritten Geburtstag, also seit etwas mehr als einem Jahr, den SPRUNGBRETT Kindergarten. Von Beginn an fühlte sie sich absolut wohl, teilte sich allen mit und erhielt die Zeit, sich schrittweise einzufinden. Jeden einzelnen Tag, der seither vergangen ist, hüpfte sie freudig alleine zum Eingang! Es ist für uns ein Glück, sie so gut aufgehoben und gefördert zu wissen. Scheinbar nebenbei lernte sie in diesem Jahr so viel, was ihren Interessen entspricht. Zurzeit ist das Lesen der Uhr angesagt. Ein groses Dankeschön an das tolle Team!

    Soeben habe ich den SRF Beitrag über Eure Schule gesehen. Es ist wundervoll wie Ihr mit den Kindern umgeht und sie dabei unterstützt etwas Gutes zu tun. Weiter so!
