I for a year in Kindergarten had a Montessori educated teacher. She had left Montessori due to family and distance. But she was absolutely splendid, absolutely unforgettable lady who helped me and the others a lot

As far as I know, you have four to check out:

Lipschule, which offers a programme from age 3-16

Rietberg which has 3-12

Montessori infant community "mic" which has 0-4 and just opened a new site right near rietberg.

Montessori house of kids, which covers 0-6

And just to be up-front, I am a Montessori 0-3 specialist, and I would recommend you go and see all four before you decide. Waiting lists and programmes vary and no one "owns" Montessori although in Switzerland there is some regulation process and certainly all those schools are regulated either by the social department for childcare or by the private schools department for their 3+ educational component.

All of the, are bilingual German/English plus the ones who have primary school probably add French and I think lipschule also has mandarin for some children.

There's also park side school in thalwil which offers everything your looking for and is also nearer and classes are not so big and the staff are also nice.

Well I did two trial days there as an assistant and from I what saw the teaching methods are exactly what you're looking for. The staff are friendly and has all the amenities and a big outdoor garden. I also worked at lipp Schule and to be honest there's not a great difference between the two. Only lipp is more expensive because it situated on the lake!!
