Child care
Extra-family child care
Day care facilities in the city of Bern
In the city of Bern, child care facilities are available in public and private daycare centers for infants from the age of 3 months up to the start of school as well as for schoolchildren.
Childcare vouchers reduce the cost of childcare in daycare centres and daycare family organisations in the canton of Bern. The vouchers are only valid in daycare centres and day family organisations that accept vouchers.
Daycare center at the University of Bern
While the daycare center at the University of Bern (KIHOB foundation) is intended solely for the children of employees of the University of Bern and the Teacher's college. The care costs are income-dependent and flexible times can be agreed from one semester to the next.
In addition to the KIHOB German-language website, the Welcome Center will be happy to send you an English-language information note.
Information
The Welcome Center will be happy to help you gain an oversight of the service. We help parents who speak little or no German, for example, with filling out German-language forms, or provide them with an information sheet concerning the care voucher system. However, we cannot reserve or provide a care place for your child.
