Childcare Grisons – Find Available Spots & Suitable Care

Graubünden is Switzerland's only trilingual canton. Alongside German, Romansh and Italian are also official cantonal languages. This linguistic diversity is partly reflected in childcare too.

Depending on the region, Kinderkrippen mainly speak German, Romansh or Italian. In Romansh-speaking regions such as the Engadine, as well as in the Italian-speaking southern valleys, there are facilities with a corresponding language focus. Occasionally you'll also find bilingual offerings.

As the language regions within Graubünden differ, it's worth checking the details in the Kita profile. This helps you find a Kinderkrippe with the language focus you want more quickly.

Yes! Since 2025, families in the canton of Graubünden have received income-dependent reductions for Kinderkrippen through a cantonwide, uniform system. Depending on household income, part of the childcare costs is reduced.

After registering with a recognised Kinderkrippe, the care is reported to the cantonal system. Parents can then submit the application for the reduction online.
