Our daycare
A cocoon to grow up in
In Clarens, a few steps from Lake Geneva, we have created a warm and safe home where every child can blossom at their own pace, surrounded by trained and caring adults.
Story & mission
An authorised, committed institution
Garderie Au Petit Bonheur is a private early childhood institution authorised by the Vaud Office for Day Care of Children (OAJE), operating under the LAJE and its implementation regulation (RLAJE).
Our mission: to offer quality, human-sized care where every child is recognised as a whole person, capable and worthy of respect.
Our symbol
The bee
The bee embodies teamwork, diligence, creativity and harmony. Just as the bee gathers nectar to create delicious honey, we cultivate a nourishing environment where every child can blossom. It is also, more simply, the comforter of the founder's daughter — a nod to the intimate origin of this project.
