The Pflegekind Aargau association aims to provide foster children with a living environment that supports their development, with the needs and rights of the child at its center. The association thereby assumes a public task. To this end, suitable foster parents are sought, trained and prepared. The foster parents are professionally accompanied and supported. The Pflegekind Aargau association can cooperate with other institutions or participate in them, provided this serves the purpose of the association. Furthermore, the Pflegekind Aargau association can offer children and young people who, for example, cannot cope with the public school system due to their difficult living conditions, an alternative educational path. This can be achieved through the founding and management of a school as well as other educational and care services.
