125 years of familea - a pioneer by tradition
familea has been supporting children, women and families in Basel for 125 years - with heart, commitment and a pioneering spirit.
Celebrate with us on June 6, 2026 on Münsterplatz and discover our Anniversary year full of encounters and stories.
Day care centers
With over 40 daycare centers with around 1700 childcare places in the Basel-Stadt, Basel-Landschaft and Aargau regions, we offer a high-quality childcare service where your child feels comfortable, builds lasting relationships and is encouraged in his or her interests and strengths.
Children and youth homes
In the children's home Lindenberg and the decentralized residential groups, familea offers children and adolescents protection, security and support with socio-pedagogical care. In the transit home Im Vogelsang, we offer immediate and round-the-clock support to children in difficult acute situations through crisis intervention and clarification.Â
Foster families
Thanks to the more than 200 foster families from its own placement pool, familea's Center for Foster Children (ZPK) offers children and adolescents protection, security and a perspective through reliable family relationships when care in the family of origin is not possible for various reasons.
Women's Counseling
The familea Frauenberatung offers social and legal counseling for women in difficult life situations. The counselors pursue a holistic counseling concept, which is aimed at women residing in the canton of Basel-Stadt and support women seeking advice in developing new perspectives.
