Kita advice

Sorry I should have added that she is 9 months old
we have a daughter (2,5 years) who has been going to kita since she was 6 months old and now also a 2 month old son. our first kita was super close (public, swiss german) and then we moved and decided to try a private kita which is further away (45mins door to door) and are now moving again and decided to put them both starting january in a public kita in our street. i commute to ZH twice a week and in HO sometimes also work til 18h so commute+long hours+ long way to kita have been killing us. our kids are being raised with 4 mother tongues. the private kita is in my opinion not rly worth it cuz i don’t see a clear benefit. the kids play with each other from a certain age and i just think it’s a rip off , kinda guilt tripping the parents into more expensive kitas like with every other unnecessary thing they make money off (like a baby carrier for 700CHF). as a first time mom i totally fell for those tricks but now the second time around i trust my intuition more and prefer to invest
that money on an account, rather than overpay for a kita which is already actually quite expensive (3k for 5 days here in Bern just for the public one). that all being said i think u should listen to ur gut feeling and just try to one that appeals to you more. you can also change , and the kids at this early age won’t even remember or be extremely bothered by the change. good luck!
Thanks Ana-Marija that is immensely helpful 🙏🏼
It’s depends on how old your LO if baby is older than 2 they need less attention I would choose the nearer which is easier to drops and pick up.
