Looking for suggestions for clubs/classes for my 5 year old girl to join to increase her social circle and do things she will enjoy in the the Zug, Knoaueramt area
She has no problem with either language as both are spoken at home to her
Hello
This may be a more appropriate place but I am looking for suggestions in around the Zug area for classes for my 5 year old girl to participate in, in order to increase her social circle and do something she really enjoys
She speaks English and Swiss German with ease
Any suggestions welcome
What sort of stuff does she like doing?
If she's outdoorsy, she might enjoy the younger scouts section called "Bienli".
Otherwise you could ask at your local Gemeinde Zentrum what sort of clubs they offer.
It's difficult to recommend something without knowing at least a general direction of your daughter's interests.
I'm sorry I can't be of much help, as I don't live in that area, but perhaps you could ask at your Gemeinde if such classes exist in your area for that age group? You could also try checking any bulletin boards in your neighborhood. (For example, there are bulletin boards outside of our village Migros where classes are often advertised).
Once your daughter starts primary school, there will probably be a list of after-school classes and activities that she could join (e.g. art classes, gym, etc.). If anything is of interest, I do suggest signing up for the class(es) as early as possible, because it's been our experience that those after-school classes and activities seem to get booked up rather quickly.
Also, we found that arranging play dates was helpful at that age.
Besides lots of sports which you may be aware of (swimming, tennis, etc), my children have attended some courses in: https://www.kwerk-zug.ch/
It is quite an interesting creative place near the Zug Casino and gets booked very soon.
We sent both our kids (starting at I think 4 years) to Gartenspielgruppe and Waldspielgruppe. Both kids made some friends there, had a lot of fun, and there turned out to be some overlap between the Spielgruppen and our Kindergarten.
We also sent our kids to the Englischspielgruppe in the neighboring town, where they had lots of fun and met new kids.
