Common questions

Is kitamaps.ch free?
Yes — for parents and Kitas. There is no listing fee, no paywall, and no commission. We do not sell parent data.
Where does the Kita data come from?
Public sources: Stadt Zürich's open data, the Kanton Zürich registry, kibesuisse, and individual Kita websites. We refresh the city of Zurich daily and the rest of the canton weekly.
I run a Kita — how do I claim our listing?
Submit the form at /claim. We manually review claims within a few business days. Once verified, the listing carries a verified-by-owner badge.
Which Kitas are listed?
Every Kita registered in the city of Zurich today. The rest of the canton and the rest of Switzerland are next.
How do I find a subsidised place?
Use the 'Subsidised spots available' filter on the search page. We mark a Kita as subsidised when the city or canton tells us it qualifies.
