Emma, our 4 1/2 year old, started her first day of kindergarden on Aug 20th. In Switzerland Kindergarden is 2 years and starts when the child is 4.5 or 5. It is similar to preschool in the states. The children will learn social and play skills, confidence and independence, and ways to express themselves through art, play, stories, music, swimming, gymnastics and nature hikes. This year Emma's teacher will have a theme of snails and Dwarfs. She is learning proper high German in the class and I am told that she already speaks very well. Mommy and Daddy are very proud of her. She is growing up so very fast. All the kindergarden children have these yellow hooded poncho to keep them safe when they walk on the streets. Emma look very cute in hers.
