The Quality Charter for welcoming little Zébulons

A child is a person in his/her own right.

Our recipe: With a touch of patience, a hint of passion, a drop of good humour and a lot of creativity, our team promises to:

. Welcome children every morning with good humour and a smile
. Offer them an environment that's warm, stimulating and reassuring
. Be attentive to their biological rhythm, needs and desires
. Recognize their individuality and their differences
. Respect their emotions, privacy and integrity
. Listen and take into account their words and feelings
. Reassure them and show them affection
. Address ourselves to them by always placing ourselves at their height
. Never raise our voices and use respectful language
. Never upset a child with a gesture or with words
. Respect the important role of their “Doudou” or comforter to reassure them
. Accompany their learnings in daily life
. Encourage and reinforce their self-esteem, self-confidence and independence
. Encourage early-learning activities, socialization and self-expression through games and exchanges . Offer guided activities every day to stimulate children's creativity and imagination
. Propose rather than impose, leave them the freedom of choice
. Encourage them to discover other cultures and open up to the outside world
. Teach them the rules of living together, with courtesy and respect for oneself and others

As childcare professionals, we commit to respect children as full-fledged individuals and to always maintain a professional attitude in line with our educational methods.

The entire Zébulon & Co team

A bit of background

Created in 2008, Le Jardin de Zébulon is the first private day-care centre in the Geneva and Pays de Gex region. Based on this experience, Le Jardin de Capucine in established in 2011 and Le Jardin of Lilou in 2014.

We are proud to have welcomed over 300 children since our first opening!!

I have a Bachelor's degree in Business Management and Law, and I studied Human Resources at the ESSEC Business School in Paris.

I worked for over 10 years in the luxury hotel sector, in particular for the Sheraton and Intercontinental Hotel Group throughout the world.
Thanks to this initial professional experience, I developed an excellent sense of hospitality and an eye for detail.

A strong desire, inspiration and becoming a mother (I am also a mother of 3) encouraged me to create a different kind of day-care centre, one where my children could flourish with total confidence!!!

After two years of research and design work, combined with a pinch of madness, we created this unique and magical place for children.
I was supported from the very start by an enthusiastic management team, passionate about the project and inspired by the desire to exercise their profession in an innovative framework.

I wanted to create a universe that was cosy, innovative, with a modern design, and customized with vivid, citrus-inspired colours.

The Jardin de Zébulon was designed to be both playful and educational, a place for living, having fun and dreaming, a place that leaves room for spontaneity, good humour and conviviality.
A place where a child can live his life as a child, and develop his personality through games and the pleasure of playing.

Welcome to all of the future Zébulons soon to join us!!!

Children discover spices, herbs, sweet and savoury combinations, a cosmopolitan cuisine…

Our Cooking Workshops

Equipped with an apron, a chef's hat and a whisk – the children are now ready to prepare a cake for snack time!!

Our Mini-Garden

Vegetables don't grow in cans, nor does fruit grow in cartons!!!!
Vegetables, fruit, herbs and flowers are cultivated by the children in our mini-garden.
The goal is to show children where and how the food that we find on our plates is grown, and to teach them to respect and take care of Mother Nature, since she feeds us.

We wish all of our little Zébulons "Bon appétit" !!!!
