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.

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 1900 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 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
