Early support

Language is very important for the development and well-being of children, especially as a basis for learning and development processes in many different areas. Not all children have the same access to the German language. For many children, the playgroup is the place where they receive stimulation and support for their language development.

We offer language support in German in playgroups in the canton of Basel-Landschaft. The service is financed by the canton of BL. There are no additional costs for the lessons. For further information, please contact your responsible playgroup leader.

If you would like to register your child in a playgroup with language support, you can obtain the addresses of the playgroups in your area from the relevant local authority. If the demand for support in your selected playgroup is high enough, we will organize this within the playgroup.

Would you like to offer individual language support in your playgroup? Give us a call or send us an e-mail. We will be happy to advise you!

On behalf of the Department of Integration / Canton BL, the Foreigners’ Service Baselland is carrying out the supervision of early intervention services in the Canton BL in the period 2024 – 2028. This measure is mandatory for cantonally recognized services and is also accessible, voluntary and free of charge for other services (playgroups / KITAs).

Supervision serves as a quality assurance and quality development measure for language support programs. It is a targeted form of advice for language teachers who are supported in strengthening their existing skills and encouraging them to reflect on their own actions.

Procedure: 1 – 2 on-site supervisions per year for all registered services by a specialist in early language support (quality assurance via highly experienced language teachers (at least 5 years of professional experience) with appropriate additional and further training).

Scope of supervision: Duration 2.5 hours + feedback discussion (45 min.).
