Hello

Try Sunshine Playschool in Basel


Thanx

Just to say that Sunshine Playschool offers only playgroup hours ,and is not a Day care for your future needs,

Hi there,

I know a lot of parents who use different day cares and are happy with them, from local to English speaking ones. For me the important thing was that I felt comfortable, not only with the people, but the place and their settling in process.

Saying that, for these reasonas AND reasons of convenience (location, ease of getting home/to daycare/to work, my daughter has been at Littlefoot for approximatly 2 years, and we are thrilled with it.

From my perspective, it is the ideal 'in between' because it is a bilingual day care, and our daughter now speaks German as easily as she speaks English, which, in my opinion is an absolutely invaluable skill. I had to learn my second language 'the hard way', as an adult! I like the idea that she will grow up speaking German just as easily as she speaks English, and that she is accustomed to a multilingual environment.

I have found Littlefoot to be very caring and supportive and their staff very capable, professional and passionate in their work.

I you have any specific questions, please feel free to message me.

i will be relocating to Basel with my 2 yr old twin boys.. also looking for English speaking day care.

Found Globegarten.. particularly the markthalle outlet.. anyone has experience in this childcare center to share? Any other English speaking or bilingual centers to recommend?
