Childcare Fribourg – Find Available Spots & Suitable Care

Yes! The canton of Fribourg is officially German- and French-speaking. This linguistic diversity is also reflected in many Kinderkrippen in the region.

Depending on the location, mainly German or French is spoken. In the German-speaking Sense district – for example in Tafers, Giffers or Düdingen – many facilities provide care in German. In regions such as Bulle or Châtel-St-Denis, French dominates. In the city of Fribourg itself you'll find offerings in both languages.

The Kita profiles on Awina show you at a glance which languages are used day to day. This makes it easier to choose a suitable Kinderkrippe or Kita in your region.
