The Stiftung Kind und Eltern operates inclusive daycare centers, which also provide places for children from socially disadvantaged families as well as those with special needs. It works closely with local authorities (Kesb, AOZ, etc.) and offers emergency placements, as well as childcare assistance during official school holidays to working parents, so they can continue to work. A highlight at the Kinderhaus Talstrasse facility are the nature and forest days, which are eagerly attended by the children and the team. Kindergarten children also have the opportunity to continue being looked after by us and can thrive and develop in the Kids’ Club.

The kindergarten is located in an old house in the center of Wetzikon, and some of its walls and surfaces require a fresh coat of paint due to wear and tear from the children. We’re also looking for someone artistically gifted to paint a beautiful, child-friendly artwork on one of our walls, and would love to see more decorations in the kindergarten, which can be designed and decorated by the task force.

2–3 individuals are required per room. The more volunteers we have, the more rooms can be painted and beautifully decorated. We welcome cool and creative ideas for decorations.

This is a meaningful activity for tomorrow’s children, and you will be rewarded with the radiant faces of the children themselves and an open and friendly team who are very grateful for your support.
