ELA Basel Admissions Policy

What our families say

Juan & Luca

"What we really appreciate about ELA is the warmth professionalism and engagement that we feel from the teachers at every level." 

"The caregivers are something else. I know it's a cliché to say we're a family but it really is a family here."

"The teachers, it's the way they teach the children, it's not just like they're doing it for what they'll get at the end of the month. They do it from the heart and that is what makes ELA feel like home."

"ELA Basel is like a 'home away from home' for my two children in Early Years. It makes all the difference to our family knowing how much care and attention each child receives in a safe, secure and nurturing setting"
