About us
+80 Centers, +3500 Families, +1000 Employees: 1 Child at a Time
Our Impact
Globegarden is Switzerland’s leading childcare provider. With our network of nurseries and 15-year history, we have been entrusted by countless families to provide their children with inspiring, exceptional care and education for the early years.
Our Values
Globegarden makes a difference one child, one family and one community at a time. We believe that quality childcare has a positive influence on a child’s life and that it is our responsibility to create warm and safe environments for children, with dedicated teachers who inspire young minds to explore, create and become lifelong learners. We understand that parents need a flexible childcare partner and know it takes a village to raise a child.
We are a trusted partner for families, children and many organizations – many with us for more than 15 years.
We share a deep appreciation and respect for our teams who are impacting the lives of thousands of families and children every day.
We are committed to the highest standards in every field we operate in, which is why we are audited externally for our education and quality standards every year.
We are champions for working families and modern early education, with over 15 years of experience.
Our History
Globegarden has been changing the childcare landscape in Switzerland for more than 15 years. Way back in 2009, our founders saw that childcare was an enormous obstacle for working parents.
Providing on-site or city childcare centers became just one way we responded to help families and entire organizations work better. Today we offer quality childcare and help for education and careers – and we have impacted thousands of lives of children and parents. Because early education isn’t just what we do, it’s who we are.
Trust promotes innovation
Countless pioneers, visionaries, explorers and transformers work at globegarden. For more than 15 years, our teams have been reinventing the daycare world every day. Employees describe globegarden as innovative, colorful and open. Our spirit of innovation is driven by trust and empowerment. Because: If team members trust each other, they also dare to try out a new - and possibly daring - idea together. Where do all our innovative ideas come from for years? We have great role models every day: Children often have crazy questions and sometimes amaze us with extraordinary ideas. They are an expression of their unlimited creativity, which early on can only be restricted by few norms. Strengthening the basic trust of children in own ideas is not just a teaching approach for us, moreover it is the foundation of all innovation.

Globegarden is family. That's why over 100 globegarden leaders come together every year for the annual strategy weekend to plan for the year ahead. Here's our video from the 2024 kick-off.
From Family to Families
At globegarden we always put family first. We encourage a family feeling at the workplace, where we treat each other with respect and live by our family values. We are a partner to families and take care of children in a familiar home away from home. We are not only a family-owned enterprise, we are truly family.
