Noa
Join childcare waiting lists
Overview
More than one list keeps options open.
The question you never knew to ask“Should I be on more than one waiting list, and is there help with the cost?”
Why it matters
Places, lists and fees are set locally.
Does this apply to me?
Your circumstances: Canton Bern, B permit, mixed nationalities, family with children, moving with a partner, arriving soon
Because Noa is Kita age.
When?
Before you need the place.
What do I need?
- Your child's age
- When you need care to start
- Your address
What do I do next?
- Shortlist providers near home or work.
- Ask each how its list works.
- Join the ones that suit you.
- Ask your commune whether it subsidises childcare and how after-school care (Hort) works.
