Right on the Güzelbahçe border in Limanreis — Reggio Emilia, Waldorf and forest school for ages 2-6, with the area’s first open-air classroom.
If you are looking for a preschool in Güzelbahçe, consider Elif Başkut Education in Limanreis, just across the district border. Our school is in the Narlıdere neighbourhood adjoining Güzelbahçe, on Mithatpaşa Street: a few minutes from Yelki and Siteler, about 10 minutes by car from Güzelbahçe centre.
Many families from Yelki, Yaka, Siteler, Çelebi, Kahramandere and Mustafa Kemal Paşa drop their children off on the way to work. Our holistic programme for ages 2-6 combines Reggio Emilia, Waldorf, forest school and bilingual approaches — plus an open-air classroom — a school environment close to Güzelbahçe’s nature-oriented way of life.

“Güzelbahçe'de böyle bir anaokulu bulduğumuz için çok şanslıyız.”
“Kızım Elif Başkut'a başlamadan önce içeriğinin bu kadar detaylı, anlamlı, doğal hayata dair becerilerle dolu olduğunu bilemezdim. İyi ki de başlamışız diyebileceğim ve işini gerçekten iyi yapan Elif hocanın da okulun başında olması ve güzel katkı dolu öğretmenlerle olması çok iyi. Kesinlikle tavsiye ederim.”
“Çocuğumu 3 yıl boyunca Elif Başkut Eğitim Kurumları'na gönderdim. Hem akademik olarak hem de kişisel gelişimi açısından çok faydasını gördük. Öğretmenler çok ilgili, kurum disiplinli ve güvenilir. Çocuklara verdikleri değer gerçekten hissediliyor. Okul müdürü Elif hanım hem donanımlı hem şeffaf duruşu sayesinde gözümüz hiç arkada kalmadı. Elif hanım ve ekibine emeklerinden dolayı çok teşekkür ederim.”
