Our Early Years provides flexible wrap-around care. We only close for 4 weeks each calendar year.

  • Most Early Years closures take place the week of Swiss Day in August and the week between Christmas and New Year's Day.
  • The Early Years calendar differs from the Primary School, which generally follows the Basel-Stadt school calendar.
  • Early Years key dates can be found here. You can see all the ELA Basel primary school dates here.

DISCOVER OUR GARTENSTRASSE CAMPUS

At ELA Basel's bilingual Kita, every child is cherished as one of our own.

In our historic Gartenstrasse building, very close to Basel SBB, we have created more than just an Early Years setting — we have built a warm, nurturing second home where children thrive in a natural German and English-speaking environment.

Our location is within walking distance or reachable by a very short tram ride from Altstadt Grossbasel, Gellert, Gundeli, Dreispitz, Bruderholz, Iselin, Gotthelf, Bachletten and many other inner city residential areas.  

If you would like to visit our wonderful campus from the comfort of your home, now you can.
