Allegra Daycare in Zurich is a modern, bilingual childcare center that offers a loving and inspiring environment for children from three months of age up until they start school. Based on the principles of Montessori education, the center encourages each child’s independence and individual development.
The facility features a thoughtfully designed spatial concept created by baukind GmbH. It includes various learning and play areas such as a creative studio, a music and movement room, a role-play room, a construction room, and a children’s restaurant offering a buffet of fresh and healthy meals. A particular highlight is the Snoozle Room, which provides children with a quiet retreat for relaxation.
Great emphasis was placed on sustainability during the construction of the daycare. This includes the use of a high-quality, climate-positive linoleum flooring from Forbo. This natural floor covering is especially low-emission, easy to maintain, durable, and pleasant to the touch—ideal for spaces where children often walk barefoot or play, sit, or lie on the floor. In addition, Marmoleum is antibacterial, meeting the hygiene standards required in a daycare environment, and also contributes to a healthy indoor climate.
