Welcome to ELA Basel Early Years. I am delighted to be part of a team of professionals who are dedicated to providing our youngest children with the best possible care and learning experiences during their time with us.
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
"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"
Early Years Family
"I would like to repeat again that the teachers did an amazing job during the school closure, the best they could in the situation. Both my kids have been able to go through this with a smile. Thank you!"
Year 4 Parent
"I’m an Early Years parent and think that ELA Basel’s level of communication and responsiveness has been outstanding. I appreciate the helpfulness of the home lesson plans, but nothing can replace the social and intellectual stimulation my child is getting at ELA Basel. Thank you to all of the staff for their continued support during the lockdown."
Early Years Parent
"I’m impressed by how quickly ELA Basel staff worked to immediately continue learning during these difficult times of the pandemic. We have friends back home in the US whose children received no online/home learning for over a month while the schools navigated how to continue. I’m very grateful for the school and teachers hard, dedicated work to continue teaching my children. Thank you!"
Year 3 Parent
