Our childcare services provide parents with important relief in their daily educational routine and offer children and adolescents a safe place for healthy development.

Today, our services include 35 day care centers with around 1,600 care places, the Lindenberg children's home and three decentralized residential groups, the Im Vogelsang transit home, women's counseling and the center for foster children.

"Committed to the future" - our vision

"Fine mesh - strong net" - our story

familea was founded in 1901 as the "Basler Frauenverein" (Basel Women's Association) to support women and especially unmarried mothers who were economically, socially and legally disadvantaged. Unmarried mothers found it difficult to find work and good care for their child.

As early as 1903, the Women's Association opened the refuge house for women and daughters in distress, founded in the first years of its existence the welfare commission for small boarding children, the youth welfare and the service daughters' association (1904), the children's home Lindenberg(1906), which still exists today, the branch of women's welfare and legal protection (1907), the first day care center in the

Switzerland and the placement of people's or workers' gardeners (1909), the workers' kränzchen (1910), an employment agency for hourly women, laundresses, and seamstresses, a home employment agency, and a home employment sale.

"A lived familea culture" - our values

Management

As management, our commitment is to the values of familea, namely work-life balance, equal opportunities and integration. We are committed to the well-being of children, young people, women and families out of conviction. In the same way, this commitment at the operational management level is directed at our more than 700 employees. They are the driving force behind familea's professionalism and flexibility.
