Our mission
Founder and CEO Dr. Julia F. Dutkowski
As a passionate aunt and godmother, I want to support parents in playfully fostering their children’s development. To do this, I combine my experience from over a decade as a successful scientist and management consultant with dedicated partners from the educational field.
Regardless of a child’s academic performance, learning is often not a pleasant topic. It leads to frustration and arguments at home. At the same time, it is immensely important to provide educational support so that children can solidify their understanding of the concepts taught in school.
This is where the Primarschulbox comes in, providing tailored, high-quality analog games with an educational value. By focusing on the playful nature of the materials, children can learn in a fun way. The physical format provides a valuable complement to screen time, as it activates different areas of the brain. Additionally, children can train important qualities such as perseverance and frustration tolerance. The alignment of the content with the Swiss curriculum Lehrplan 21 and regular home deliveries in the subscription model ensure continuous support.
This allows parents, aunts, godparents, and nannies to focus on what really matters - spending quality time with their children.
Our promise
Every Primarschulbox is lovingly curated by hand in Switzerland. As a small, owner-operated business we place great importance on operating as locally as possible. This is why our offices are located in Zurich - with a view of a primary school. Our printer and logistics are also based in the Canton of Zurich.
To ensure the quality of our materials, we source them from established suppliers in Switzerland and Germany wherever possible.
Sustainability is of central importance to us. That's why we focus on including sustainably produced materials and short transportation routes. We also use eco-friendly and, wherever possible, recyclable packaging.
