We assist all the children in their physical, intellectual, social and emotional development whilst ensuring this is done in a caring, safe and secure environment.

Through our child-centred Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, we strive to provide stimulating opportunities which will help every child grow in confidence, gain independence and become curious and happy young learners.

I look forward to meeting you by zoom or in person at our beautiful Gartenstrasse location.

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"
