Reconciling family and career, equal opportunities and integration. Since 1901.Â
"Close to life and professional" - our mission
familea is a socially responsible association with a tradition of over 120 years in the Basel region. Reconciliation of family and career, equal opportunities and integration form our guiding principles for the design of support.
With around 950 employees - over 200 of whom are trainees and students - we are a recognized and important specialist and training institution in the social sector.
Our childcare services provide parents with important relief in their daily educational routine and offer children and adolescents a safe place for healthy development.
"On the pulse of time" - our offer
Today, our services include over 40 daycare centers with around 1700 childcare places, the Lindenberg children's home and three decentralized residential groups, the Im Vogelsang transit home, women's counseling and the foster children's center.
"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 for women and daughters in need, founded the welfare commission for young boarders, the youth welfare organization and the service daughters' association (1904), the Lindenberg children's home (1906), which still exists today, the women's welfare and legal protection branch (1907), the first day care center for children in Switzerland and the arrangement of people's or workers' gardens (1909), the workers' wreaths (1910), an employment agency for hourly women, laundresses and seamstresses, a home work agency and a home work 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 950 employees. They are the driving force behind familea's professionalism and flexibility.
