What our families say
"Wir haben die ELA kennengelernt als einen Ort, an dem sich die Kinder einfach wohlfühlen können. Was die, die, die Lehre betrifft, das Schulische, wird hier jedes Kind gefordert, aber auch gefördert. Also wir würden uns jedes Jahr auf's Neue für die ELA entscheiden. Wir sind sehr begeistert von dieser Schule!"
"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."
"Wir schätzen es sehr, dass die Erzieher und Erzieherinnen schon seit vielen, vielen Jahren hier zu Hause sind, gerne hier arbeiten – zum Teil schon seit sieben oder zehn Jahren oder sogar noch länger. Es fühlt sich an, als wäre man zu Hause bei der Familie. Es gibt lauter tolle Familien von überall aus der Welt, und wir haben eine tolle Community."
"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."
