Registration

The online registration form is non-binding. However, once parents choose to enroll their child in the playgroup sessions, a separate registration contract will be provided, and this will be considered binding.

Payment

Fees are applicable irrespective of the child's attendance, meaning the reserved spot incurs charges. Payments are to be made in advance for three months via bank transfer or twint.

Absences

Please inform me in advance about the child's absences, such as vacations or any other reasons for not attending. In case of illness or other absences, there will be no refund of the paid fee. If I’m sick or have an accident, I will make all efforts to arrange a substitute guide. However, if a playgroup session is canceled, there is no entitlement to a refund of the paid fees. Thank you for understanding.

Insurance

Parents are responsible for securing accident and liability insurance for their children. The playgroup does not assume liability for lost or damaged personal items, including jewelry, clothing, or belongings.

Drop off and pick up

Drop Off: Please aim to be on time for drop-off. If you anticipate a late arrival, kindly inform me in advance.

Pick Up: Similarly, strive to pick up your child on time. I understand unforeseen circumstances, so there's a 10-minute flexible window for pick-up.

Third-Party Pick-Up: If someone other than the parent is picking up the child, please also inform me in advance. Ensure the designated person carries proper identification for recognition and safety.

Morning snack

A healthy morning and afternoon snack will be provided for your child at no extra cost.

What to bring

To ensure your child's comfort, I recommend dressing them in comfortable clothing. Please have them carry a small backpack containing indoor slippers and a spare change of clothes in case your child gets wet while exploring water-based activities. If needed please provide nappies and wipes.

Photos and videos

Upon signing the contract, you acknowledge that photos of your child in the playgroup may be taken for internal purposes (e.g., birthday calendar, gifts, attendance overview, etc.) unless otherwise specified. The extended use of these photos is outlined in the final registration contract. If you have specific preferences, please communicate them accordingly.

Collaboration

The exchange of ideas and experiences between parents and the playgroup leader fosters a positive collaboration for the benefit of your child. If you wish to have a more extended discussion with me, I’d be delighted to schedule an appointment at your convenience.

Termination policy

Ending enrollment in the playgroup is possible after each quarter (March, June, September, or December) with a one-month notice period. In the event of an earlier withdrawal, the fee for the current period must be settled.

Vaccination

Please be informed that participation in this playgroup requires children to have received all recommended vaccinations as per the Swiss medical registry. This policy is strictly enforced to prioritize the safety and well-being of all children, their parents, and the staff. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in adhering to this requirement.

Sickness policy

At the Montessori Room, we prioritize the well-being of all children. To maintain a healthy environment, please keep your child at home if they are unwell. Additionally, please inform me if your child contracts an infectious disease (such as chickenpox, measles, scarlet fever, etc.) as soon as possible.

Language

The official language of the playgroup is German.
