About the job

Not so easy to find the right apprenticeship for yourself, is it? Maybe we can make your decision easier, because we claim: An apprenticeship with us will definitely take you further in life. Hi, we are KiMi. We run more than 30 childcare centres in six cantons. That comes with responsibility: We communicate clearly, have high standards and show commitment. And the whole KiMi team benefits from that. Because: We take it personally, are like a family, think visionary and act professionally. So that children can discover the world together and carefree. From summer 2026 we offer a Childcare Specialist EFZ apprenticeship.

Specialisation in childcare

Children between 0.5 and 5 years old

As an apprentice at KiMi, you are a full team member and support the childcare professionals in their daily work with the children. You play, jump and laugh, show how to wash hands properly, wipe noses, dry tears and put on shoes. All the things involved with children.

What do you get from us?

Of course, an apprenticeship with professional training support and supervision. In addition: free meals, free KiMi clothing, a paid German course, many ZFV staff discounts and even more.

What you will definitely take away:

Social skills: You learn how to deal with children, but also with adults

Sense of responsibility: You gain (self-)confidence, routine and develop your own initiative.

Flexibility: Whatever comes – you can respond appropriately.

Visionary: You always work with the latest educational principles and experience how modern and innovative companies organise themselves.

Team spirit: You develop a feeling for how to work with others, but also independently. And understand how familial that can be.

Professionalism: You get to know concepts and structures that give you support and security.

What we expect from you:

Primarily willingness to learn, motivation and initiative. Oh yes, a school leaving certificate that is not an "epic fail" would also be good. You can express yourself well and deal with adults and children. And that you are responsible, punctual and committed, we probably don’t even have to write, right? Don’t worry, you can do it. We support and accompany you in this. And if you have questions, you can count on a motivated and competent team. What do you think? Are you in? Then send us your school reports and a ca. 1-minute video introducing yourself via the application form! We don’t need a classic cover letter – we want to get to know you as a person! If you don’t feel comfortable in front of the camera, you can also tell us your motivation in your preferred way. We look forward to hearing from you. Want to learn more? On our TikTok channel you will find many videos giving you an insight into everyday life at the childcare centre.
