Kita Rappard (Bern)

Camera, indigo, magenta and umber

The four age groups at the Rappard daycare center were named after colors, after all, the daycare center - like the neighborhood square in front of the building - has a famous namesake: the Bernese painter Clara von Rappard (1857-1912). The modern building on Rappardplatz in Bern was built in 2008 and specially designed for a daycare center and kindergarten. The large, floor-to-ceiling windows bring plenty of light into the rooms, creating trust and transparency. There is plenty of space and spacious rooms, which have been furnished according to the concept of practice-oriented educational work. There is a role-play and theater room, a painting and craft studio, a movement and music room as well as a construction and math room. On the second floor, there is a sheltered terrace for playing, swimming and riding bobby cars. Around the building - located between the Weissenstein sports halls and the Vidmarhallen - there is a large playground, which is shared by the daycare center and the building's own public kindergarten.
