Heartfeld Diversity
"Hoii" to those of you who question traditions and have the courage to forge your own path. "Bonjour" to all the single moms and dads juggling multiple jobs and performing heroic feats for themselves and their loved ones every day. "Ciao" to the big families – the chaotic adventurers exploring the world with kids, grandmas, two cats, and a dog. "Hello" to the colorful patchwork families that show love knows no bounds. "Përshëndetje" to the single uncles, single aunts, and all the loving and crazy godparents. "Salve" to the separated parents who still manage to have the happiest children in the world. "Olá" to the rainbow families, whose kids proudly tell their friends at daycare why Mia has two moms and Yunus has two dads.
We all share the joys and challenges of family life, whether in traditional or newly formed constellations – we are all family! We are pioneers of the modern family landscape, showing that love and togetherness exist in so many colorful facets. And here at Awina, we see and support each and every one of us because we all deserve to be celebrated in our uniqueness.
The Beginning
We have observed that many urban daycares are not fully occupied. This situation hits smaller daycares particularly hard – they can’t just hire or lay off staff flexibly. Running an underutilized daycare is an enormous economic challenge. At the same time, we parents in Switzerland feel the pressure of rising health insurance premiums and high rents. We know that daycare costs in Switzerland amount to a quarter of household income, making our daycares among the most expensive in Europe.
Our platform creates an initial connection here: Daycares can offer their available spots on Awina under flexible payment terms. As parents, you can create a profile, compare individual daycares in a very clear way, and send non-binding inquiries. You can also see which daycares offer flexible payment plans. We then negotiate these options for you in the second step.
The Future
In a second step, we connect daycares directly with employers. We are developing a creative solution that enables companies to finance daycare costs for their employees – all easily and directly. So, let’s talk less and do more. If you still want to learn about our mission, our values, and our fantastic team, just scroll down.
