Let us introduce you to our team members who work hard everyday to make Cap Canaille the most pleasant and stimulating place for your children. Our team is what makes Cap Canaille such a particular environment where children feel secure and where they can blossom at their own pace. They know how to create this unique atmosphere where everyone feels welcomed and valued.
This week we’d like you to meet Catherine Noth who is currently responsible for the middle aged English-speaking groups in Cap Canaille, Villars-sur-Glâne.
Catherine Noth, or Cathou as everyone calls her at Cap Canaille, is fribourgeoise and lives since two years in Le Pâquier not far away from Bulle. She holds a schoolmistress certificate and naturally saw her opportunity in childcare. She spent a year in England as au pair “nanny” and volunteer. When she returned home she worked two years for the Swissair Company before getting back to the world of early childhood in a day-care center in Basel for six years. She’s now back in the French part of Switzerland after spending eight years in a Swiss German environment.
Cathou is responsible for the middle-aged English-speaking children group at Cap Canaille and she’s also the mother of a three and a half year old boy named Luca.
She describes herself as a thoroughgoing and always active person who loves people. Her best asset in the day-care center would be her artistic qualities. She thinks that it just takes some bright colors in life to make people smile and their eyes glitter like stars.
Cathou’s most efficient stimulant would be to give herself new goals and achieve them. “Our greatest victory isn’t never to fall, but to raise again every time we do!” That’s what makes her move on when things get a little hard to handle. So as to avoid conflicts and misunderstanding, she was told to always reformulate a word or a sentence, simply because each and every one of us understands and interprets situations in different ways.
Today, enriched of great experiences and beautiful moments, she feels like her growing passion about her work is definitely related to the fact that every day is a different day besides the rituals maintained with the children.
