Our vision
Every child in Switzerland should be able to develop in a healthy manner and achieve his or her potential as well as possible. Parents play a key role here and must be able to do this in a practical way. This is why socially and educationally disadvantaged parents should receive tailored support to give their children a good start in life
The a:primo early childhood development programmes make an important contribution to equality of opportunities for socially disadvantaged children. a:primo is working to anchor early childhood development programmes in Swiss society so that they are used as a matter of course. The focus of our services is strengthening the family as a place of learning. The programmes are aimed at families to be and those with children aged up to 6.
