We blend the project-based Reggio Emilia approach, rhythm-based Waldorf pedagogy and weekly forest school days into one holistic programme.
English is not a separate lesson but a natural part of the day, acquired through play, songs and daily routines — plus a weekly French lesson.
Class sizes are limited. Each child’s development is closely followed and shared with families in regular meetings.
All meals are cooked fresh in our own kitchen with seasonal ingredients; allergies and special diets are respected.

“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.”
“Kızımı iki yıl boyunca sevgi ve şefkat ile eğiten, büyüten güzel okul. İyi ki sizlerle karşılaştık. Hem öğretmenlerin hem Elif hanımın ilgisi hem de ortamın güvenliği açısından içim çok rahattı. Sıcacık bir ortamda, oyunlarla öğrenerek çok güzel zaman geçirdi, kendini de inanılmaz geliştirdi. Bizim için burası gerçek bir ikinci yuva oldu. Çocuğunu sevgi dolu bir ortama gözü kapalı emanet etmek isteyenlere gönülden tavsiye ederim.”
