About Our Programme
We are excited to introduce our new After School Care programme, or Tagesbetreuung, specially designed for children attending Swiss schools. Running from 12:00 to 15:30 at Gartenstrasse 93, 4052 Basel, this programme offers a perfect balance of care, creativity, and learning for your child.
We understand that families have busy and varied schedules, so we offer a flexible service with no minimum commitment required. Whether you need occasional support or regular care, you can choose the days that best suit your needs.
Our programme includes a nutritious lunch followed by engaging activities tailored to different interests and age groups. Children can explore their creativity with arts and crafts, spark curiosity with STEM projects, improve communication through language activities, or enjoy nature in our playground or neighbouring parks. With our focus on holistic development, we aim to provide an environment where children feel inspired, nurtured, and safe.
The main spoken language is English, but we also have German-speaking staff available to ensure all children feel comfortable and supported. Whether your child speaks English, German, or both, they’ll thrive in this inclusive and welcoming environment.
Extend the learning with an Enrichment Programme
For families needing additional care, we also offer the option to extend the day at our After School and Enrichment programmes located at our other nearby campus, Wildensteinerhof, St Alban Vorstadt 32. This allows children to further explore their passions in areas like sports, drama, or science in a structured, fun setting.
If you enrol your child in this part of the programme, our staff will walk them across from Gartenstrasse to Wildensteinerhof. Sign up now to give your child the opportunity to learn, grow, and make new friends in this exciting programme!
