Open Door Basel is an early English literacy and play centre offering daily reading & writing classes and morning preschool for English speaking families in the Basel area.
English classes (~4-12 years)
Using Oxford Tree and Jolly Phonics learning materials, our early English literacy classes have been designed to motivate and inspire young minds. We want your children to not only read and write well, but to love doing it.
Preschool (~2-4 years)
With learn-through-play activities such as arts and crafts, sing-along songs, story time and outdoor discovery trips, our Preschool programme focuses on the essential elements of child development.
