Hospital pedagogy (teaching and work teachers, social pedagogues) teach and care for hospitalised children and adolescents on all UKBB wards during their stay. Specialists support the patients in an age- and level-appropriate manner, taking into account the respective illness situation. Hospital education also sees itself as a bridge to everyday life and offers various services.
The teachers at UKBB teach school-age children and adolescents who are hospitalised for more than a week. Lessons in the main subjects of maths, German, English and French take place in groups in the hospital classroom as well as individually at the bedside on the ward. The lessons are based on the curriculum of the home class - in consultation with the class teacher - and are adapted to the child's state of health.

In the afternoons, themed group activities take place, such as museum visits or creative activities in the workroom and in nature.

On request, the social education team looks after patients in their hospital room, in the Villa Kunterbunt or in a playroom on the wards. The specialists play, design and do handicrafts with the children and enable them to have positive experiences in a creative and playful way. During this time, parents are relieved of the burden of caring for their children.

Villa Kunterbunt is located on the ground floor of the UKBB. It is run by the social pedagogy team. Here, hospitalised children can play, do handicrafts and read with their siblings. The centre is also open to siblings of children receiving outpatient treatment if their treatment in hospital requires the presence of their parents or carers. Childcare at Villa Kunterbunt is intended to relieve parents when they have to attend important appointments at UKBB or want to spend some time with their sick child in peace.
Villa Kunterbunt is open from Monday to Friday from 2.00 - 5.00 pm. It is closed at weekends and on public holidays. No enrolment is required. Childcare is free of charge.
The childcare programme is aimed at children aged 3 and over.

Before a planned operation, children and parents have the opportunity to visit the UKBB accompanied by a social pedagogue and prepare for the upcoming stay. They are familiarised with the hospital's facilities and surgical instruments in an individual and playful way. The aim is to build trust and answer any questions you may have. If necessary, you are welcome to contact the social education department.
