Subsidised daycare in Switzerland: what aid can be used to reduce your child's childcare costs?
Finding a childcare place that meets the needs of your child while respecting the family budget is an important concern for many parents. In Switzerland, public subsidies can help to reduce childcare costs and make childcare more accessible.
At KidsCare, some of our structures benefit from cantonal or municipal subsidization schemes. This aid allows eligible families to benefit from our bilingual educational environment and our educational support, while benefiting from advantageous pricing conditions.
Discover the possibilities offered in our daycares in Villars-sur-Glâne, Bulle, Mont-sur-Lausanne and Bern, as well as the advantages of partnering with the public network in Mies.
What is a subsidised daycare place?
A place in a subsidised daycare is a place for which a public authority participates in the financing of childcare costs. Depending on the system in force, this participation may allow families to benefit from a reduced rate compared to the usual rate.
The conditions of access, the amount of assistance and the steps to be taken vary depending on the canton, the municipality of residence and, in some cases, the financial situation of the family.
It is therefore important to find out about the possibilities available in your area before choosing a childcare solution.
Our KidsCare daycares with subsidy options
At KidsCare, we want to enable as many families as possible to benefit from a quality welcome. This is why some of our structures are part of public support schemes for childcare costs.
KidsCare Villars-sur-Glâne and Bulle: aid in the canton of Fribourg
In the canton of Fribourg, our daycares in Villars-sur-Glâne and Bulle allow families to find out about the cantonal and municipal aid to which they are entitled.
The terms depend in particular on the municipality of residence and the applicable scheme. Municipal aid may supplement the cantonal subsidies for families who meet the required conditions.
KidsCare Mont-sur-Lausanne: help for families in the municipality
In Mont-sur-Lausanne, families living in the municipality can find out about the possibilities of municipal subsidies for a place in our nursery.
The amount of the aid and the conditions for granting it are determined by the competent authorities. It is therefore advisable to check its eligibility before finalising its registration.
This possibility allows the families concerned to consider a bilingual French-English reception in a setting adapted to the development and well-being of their child.
KidsCare EFIB in Bern: Cantonal support possible
Our KidsCare EFIB nursery, located within the French International School of Bern, welcomes children in a warm and bilingual environment.
In the canton of Bern, public aid may be available depending on the applicable cantonal conditions and the situation of each family. We invite parents to find out about their eligibility and how their place is financed by their municipalities.
In Mies, three places in the public network directly accessible within our daycare
Our KidsCare daycare in Mies also has an interesting feature for families: three places linked to the public network can be allocated directly within our structure.
This scheme represents an opportunity for families who wish to benefit from a place in our daycare while enjoying the advantages associated with the public network.
Depending on the conditions of allocation, the use of a place in the public network can make it possible to benefit from significant financial support for childcare costs. It is therefore a particularly interesting possibility for parents who are looking for a quality childcare solution in Mies.
We encourage interested families to contact us for information on available places, access criteria and the steps to take.
Beyond the price, the quality of the welcome remains essential
Choosing a daycare is not just about comparing prices. The well-being of the child, the quality of the educational support and the relationship of trust with the team are just as important.
At KidsCare, we pay particular attention to the development of each child, respect for his or her rhythm and autonomy. Our pedagogical approach is based in particular on Montessori, Pikler and Reggio Emilia inspirations, as well as on openness to languages from early childhood.
In our bilingual structures, French and English are part of everyday life through games, songs, activities and interactions with the educational team. The children discover languages in a natural and stimulating environment.
We also attach great importance to collaboration with families, thanks to the daily exchanges with the teams and our application for parents.
Our goal is to provide every child with an environment in which they can grow, explore, and thrive with confidence, while supporting parents in their search for a childcare solution that suits their needs.
