Luxembourg City - Post Report Question and Answers
Are preschools available? Day care? Are these expensive? What has been your experience with them, if any? Do the schools provide before- and/or after-school care?
It seems like there is a "creche" on every corner. They run the gamut in price, level of care/services offered, and style (Montessori, etc.). - Jun 2017
There is also an amazing daycare system subsidized by the government for everyone (including diplomats) for kids up to age 12. They calculate your family price based on your income. The price is the highest for the first child, lower for #2, very cheap for #3 and free for #4 and beyond. Our children went to a wonderful full-time, 5 days a week Luxembourgish creche and they loved it. They learned to speak Luxembourgish along with other kids from at least 20 countries. The staff all spoke fluent English and French and German (and Luxembourgish). It was a public creche. The public creches turned out to be better (in our experience) than the private ones (which was the opposite of what we expected). We started with a private French-language creche (Arche Noe) and hated it. It was well worth the switch to Luxembourgish. - Mar 2016
