Why Embreier Signature?

Evidence-Based Learning

Grounded in developmental neuroscience, each session translates research into a structured experience children genuinely enjoy.

Designed for Results

Four-phase sequence × rotating activities = regulation, curiosity, and self-direction. Capacities children carry into school, relationships, and daily life.

Trusted Educator Presence

Small groups, familiar faces, and clear safeguarding standards—all held by trained educators—create an environment where children can try, stretch, and grow.

What Families Are Saying Ce que disent les familles

"We were always busy. Ballet, swimming, this and that. But I never felt settled about it. With Embreier, something feels anchored. She leaves willingly. She talks about the circle. There's a steadiness in her that wasn't there before. It is incredible." « On était toujours occupés. Ballet, natation, tout ça. Mais je ne me sentais jamais vraiment rassurée. Avec Embreier, quelque chose est ancré. Elle part volontiers. Elle parle du cercle. Il y a une stabilité en elle qui n'était pas là avant. C'est incroyable. »

"He arrives curious. That surprised me. There's more follow-through now. If he starts something, he stays with it. The shift is subtle, but it's real. I can see it in how he listens." « Il arrive curieux. Ça m'a surpris. Il va plus au bout des choses maintenant. S'il commence quelque chose, il reste avec. Le changement est subtil, mais il est réel. Je le vois dans sa façon d'écouter. »
—Ye Zi, Embreier Parent —Ye Zi, parent Embreier
"We were looking for something consistent. A clear structure. After a few weeks, he comes home calmer. He talks about the other children. He describes what he did. For me, that is reassuring." « On cherchait quelque chose de cohérent. Un cadre clair. Depuis quelques semaines, il rentre plus calme. Il parle des autres enfants. Il raconte ce qu'il a fait. Pour moi, c'est rassurant. »

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We meet you where you are, with two programmes for children aged 4–9.

    Embreier Wednesday provides full Wednesday coverage from 12:00 to 18:00, designed for working families navigating the midweek gap. Embreier Signature is a 90-minute version built on the same developmental arc, our flagship format.

    Both programmes follow the same method and principles. The difference is duration and the window of time that fits your family’s needs.

  • Most after-school activities build isolated skills.
    Embreier builds habits.

    Emotional regulation. Listening. Sharing. Collaboration.
    In a consistent, neuroscience-based sequence, children settle faster and take responsibility sooner. Confidence grows week after week.

  • A 90-minute Embreier Signature session begins with children arriving just as they are.

    We start with 30 minutes of movement. Then we reset together — tidying up, taking a few steady breaths, and shifting gears.

    Next comes 30 minutes of focused creative and cognitive work. Children choose what to work on, begin, and see it through.

    We close with a final 15-minute circle. Parents are welcome to join, reconnect, and pick up during this time.

    The sequence follows how brains and bodies naturally develop. Movement and creative work change on a four-week cycle, while the rhythm stays familiar.

  • Yes. After each session, educators are available for a brief conversation.

    They are trained in the Embreier method, fluent in English and French, and cleared under Swiss safeguarding requirements. One educator stays with the same group over time to build continuity and trust.

  • Enrolment is monthly and flexible. You can adjust before the next billing cycle, subject to availability.

  • The current cohort begins on 22 April in Lausanne, Grancy. Explore the full details on this page.
