Children's development, ages 4 to 15, along Lac Léman.
A weekly members community for children across three bands, Root, Rise, and Reach. Active in Lausanne, St-Sulpice, and Rolle, opening to all three bands for September. Bilingual. One continuous arc from childhood to the teenage years, with results parents can see and a room they want to be in.
Serving the Vaud lake corridor
From Lausanne to Rolle, and the villages between.
Embreier serves families across the full Lausanne, Morges and Rolle corridor on Lac Léman. Active groups run in Lausanne (sous-gare), St-Sulpice, and Rolle, with all three bands opening for September 2026. The session is built around the reality of Swiss family schedules: 90 minutes, weekly, the same educator, a group of eight. One commitment, consistent outcomes.
Highlighted communes have an active group. Others are within reach of an active or opening group. Contact us to confirm proximity.
One arc, ages 4 to 15
The membership grows with the child.
A child begins in the early years, when the capacities form most readily, and stays through the teenage years inside the same community. The work compounds, and so does belonging: children grow up alongside peers on the same path, in a room their parents are glad to be in.

Pour les familles qui cherchent en français
Développement de l'enfant. Séances hebdomadaires. Vaud.
Les familles qui cherchent des activités pour enfants à Lausanne, des cours pour enfants dans le canton de Vaud, ou un développement socio-émotionnel pour enfants de 4 à 15 ans trouvent dans Embreier une communauté de membres unique en Suisse romande. Les séances ont lieu en français, en anglais, ou en bilingue selon le groupe.
C'est un environnement structuré où les capacités émotionnelles, attentionnelles et sociales de l'enfant se développent chaque semaine, avec le même éducateur, dans un petit groupe stable de huit enfants. Les parents observent des changements concrets: des transitions plus fluides, une meilleure régulation des émotions, une attention soutenue, une plus grande aisance sociale. Ces effets s'accumulent avec le temps.

What children develop
Four capacities, built in sequence.
The Embreier Arc follows the same sequence every session, mirroring how the brain learns: regulation first, then attention, then creative capacity, then social connection. Each phase prepares the nervous system for the next. What is practised consistently in these years becomes habitual.
Move
Body regulation
Bilateral movement signals safety. Tension releases, eye contact returns, the nervous system learns its way back to calm.
Pause
Emotional steadiness
Stillness builds emotional awareness. Children name what they feel and learn to hold it. The foundation of self-regulation.
Make
Creative agency
Hands-on creation engages sustained attention and problem-solving. A relationship with capability that carries into every domain.
Belong
Social maturity
Under felt safety, children use each other's names, repair, and include. The strongest predictor of long-term wellbeing.
The families Embreier serves
Internationally mobile. Intentionally invested.
Most Embreier families are internationally mobile, dual-career households who arrived in Lausanne, Morges, Rolle, or the surrounding Vaud communes through a professional relocation. They come from London, New York, Singapore, Hong Kong, Paris, and Geneva. Their children speak two or three languages, and they choose education and enrichment with intention.
They are looking for something that compounds, the internal capacity their children will draw on for life, and a community their children grow up inside. Children currently enrolled attend the International School of Lausanne, École Nouvelle de la Suisse Romande, Collège Champittet, Collège du Léman, and local Swiss public schools across Vaud. Embreier is independent of these schools and complements them: schools build knowledge, Embreier builds the capacities to use it well.
Research foundation and institutional recognition
Evidence-based. Recognised in Vaud.
The Embreier Method was developed over five years across Norway, Shanghai, and New York through 1,800 direct delivery hours with children. Its foundations draw on the neuroscience of attention and autonomic recovery, interoception research, and the international socio-emotional learning literature. The founder trained at Harvard Graduate School of Education and holds Montessori 3 to 6 certification.
DGES, the cantonal education authority of Vaud, has engaged Embreier within its preventive child wellbeing framework, and a research collaboration with HEP Vaud and UNIL is in structuring, across short-term developmental indicators and long-term trajectories. For families seeking a structured, evidence-based children's development community in Lausanne or across Vaud, with trained educators and a documented method, Embreier is the one of its kind in the region.
Frequently asked questions
What families want to know.
What is Embreier?
A weekly members community for children aged 4 to 15. Sessions follow a fixed sequence, Move, Pause, Make, Belong, grounded in the neuroscience of regulation, attention, and social connection. One method, one community, with observable outcomes that compound over time.
What ages is Embreier for?
Ages 4 to 15, across three bands: Root (4 to 9), Rise (10 to 13), and Reach (13 to 15). The capacities form most readily in the early years and keep developing through the teens, so the membership runs as one continuous arc. Groups are age-banded and capped at 8 children.
Where does Embreier run in Vaud?
Active groups run in Lausanne (sous-gare), St-Sulpice, and Rolle, serving the Lausanne, Morges and Rolle corridor, including Pully, Ecublens, Chavannes, Préverenges, Saint-Prex, Allaman, Féchy, Perroy, Bursins, Gland, and Aubonne. All three bands open September 2026.
Is Embreier in English or French?
Sessions are delivered in English, with bilingual English and French delivery available. Most enrolled families are internationally mobile with English as their home language, and French-speaking families are equally welcome. The website and all parent communication are bilingual.
How much does it cost?
Embreier Signature (90-minute weekly session) is CHF 400 per month or CHF 3,600 per year. Embreier Wednesday (six-hour programme, 12:00 to 18:00) is CHF 1,600 per month or CHF 14,400 per year. Both run across all three bands. Groups are limited to 8 children. The monthly rate works out to CHF 100 per session.
Is this suitable for children at ISL, ENSR, or Champittet?
Yes. Children currently enrolled attend ISL, ENSR, Collège Champittet, Collège du Léman, and local Swiss public schools. Embreier is independent of these schools and complements them. Schools build academic knowledge; Embreier builds the capacities that let children use that knowledge well.
