Pre school day care sevices

Day care services are available in Basel for children from the age of three months. There is also a network of organised day care families. Some public institutions, for example the university, and some !arge companies in Basel have their own day care centres. Some day care centres are bilingual. 

Day care services of schools 

Since the schools in Basel are not actually day schools, they offer optional day structures. These day structures are offered in different modules and cover lunch and supervised afternoon activities, among other things. This ensures that the children have time for homework, relaxation and play. 

The University Paediatric Hospital, centrally located in Basel, provides children and teenagers with state-of-the-art medical care. There are also numerous pediatricians in private practice.

Children should be able to walk around their homes on their own as much as possible. Therefore, there are several playgrounds and at least one park within walking distance in every neighbourhood. Traffic-calming measures have been introduced on an increasing number of roads to make them safer for children.
