Photos:
Photos taken at Custom Kids are occasionally shared on our website / facebook / instagram pages.
Please inform us if you don`t want us to share photos of your child.
Insurance:
Please ensure that your child is covered by third party liability (Privathaftpflichtversicherung) and health insurance against sickness and accident (Kranken-und Unfallversicherung bei Krankenkasse).
Damaged / misplaced reading books & equipment:
Custom Kids will repair or replace any equipment or toys that are broken due to normal wear and tear.
However, if an item is intentionally damaged by your child, the repair or replacement cost will be the responsibility of the parents.
In the case of lost or damaged reading books, parents will be charged CHF 10.-
Parking:
There are 2 parking spots at the beginning of the driveway to Custom Kids and 3 spots if you drive up behind the building. You can also park on the street in front of the field (for drop off and pick up only).
If these spots are taken, there is the COOP parkhaus just down the street.
As there are a lot of kids coming and going, please do not drive up and park right beside Custom Kids and please do not block the driveway.
Closure policy:
In the event that Custom Kids must close due to circumstances beyond our control, lessons will be held online until further notice. If you choose not to participate in the online lessons, this will be treated the same as not attending class in person, and no refunds or deductions will be issued for missed sessions. We kindly ask for your understanding, as the costs of teacher salaries, rent, utilities, insurance, and other essential expenses continue regardless of class format.
Unfortunately, Playgroup cannot be conducted online. We will provide alternative options to make up for any missed sessions due to closures.
Notice of withdrawal:
Our classes are year long classes that run from the middle of August until the end of June.
To withdraw your child from Custom Kids, a written notice of three months (effective at the end of a month) is required. Notice can be submitted via email or registered mail.

Playgroup Enrollment Policy (Ages 2-5) Children enrolled in the playgroup will retain their spot(s) until notice is given, ensuring continued participation after the summer holidays.
