Kita Universität Basel - Playing above the rooftops of Basel

The company daycare center of the University of Basel in Herbergsgasse with its beautiful roof terrace offers plenty of space to play and linger. In our movement and fine motor room, the children can live out their strengths and interests. The needs-oriented daily routine with flexible care options are a matter of course for us.

The daycare center extends over four floors and with its numerous rooms offers the possibility to create small group activities that correspond to the strengths, interests and needs of the children and give them space to develop freely. Excursions to nearby parks, playgrounds, the zoo, the forest and museums are possible.

Centrally located, with good transport links, there are many opportunities. Daily small excursions, day trips and weekly projects such as forest or bathing weeks are important to us. Every two weeks, the forest group embarks on an exciting journey into the forest as an adventure space. A needs-oriented approach in the daily work is central. The children are cared for with a lot of love, respect and fun and learn to pass this on to others. A regular and intensive exchange with the parents is also important to us.

Like all familea Kitas, Kita Universität Basel and its entire team are committed to high-quality, pedagogical values and are guided by the methodology of education and learning stories (BULG).
