After registration, numerous dates for the self-evaluation were planned and implemented.
In winter 2024/25, the team at the Zottelbär daycare center took a close look at the quality of care. Internal processes were examined, reflected on and developed further. In spring 2025, Daniela Volpe submitted the comprehensive self-evaluation to Procert and was awarded candidate status in the summer.
The team at the Zottelbär daycare center regularly works with the orientation framework for early childhood education and upbringing in Switzerland. The basic attitude formulated therein, the guiding principles and the guidelines for pedagogical action were well known to the employees. This made it easier to describe and document daily pedagogical activities in dealing with children and parents. Time and time again, it became apparent that the existing procedure was in line with the QualiKita standards. Internal further training, the implementation of BULG and the reliability of meeting dates were further important factors in the consistent continuation of the certification process.
The audit took place at the end of January 2026. Despite the palpable tension, this went smoothly from 7.30 a.m. and brought a lot of confirmation of the work done. The Zottelbär daycare center achieved initial certification with flying colors and the maximum number of points.
There is great joy at having reached this milestone. At the same time, we are already looking ahead: an interim audit is planned for summer 2027, during which the current quality of care and organization will be reviewed again.
We would like to congratulate familea on this success and are proud to be the first familea daycare center to go down this path and achieve the certification goal in this form.
