KidsCare is a network of daycares in Luxembourg. Our daycares and daycare centers are private. They are based on the Pikler and Montessori pedagogies and offer various daycare services. Discover the difference between public and private daycares to make the best choice for your child.

Public Daycares

Public daycares are managed by the early childhood service of the municipality where you reside. Children can attend until they enter primary school. The educational staff overseeing them is qualified and trained in early childhood education. Each structure has its own management specifics and environment. The size of the daycares can also vary. Some are called "micro-daycares" because they only accommodate about ten children at a time. A collective daycare can accommodate up to 60 children. However, most municipal daycares have around thirty or forty children, divided into several age groups. These include the baby group, the middle group, and the senior group, which attends its last year of daycare.
Places on public daycares are harder to obtain due to limited availability. Priority is given to families in difficult social, financial, and family situations. Children with disabilities or significant challenges are also given priority. If no spot is available at public institutions in your municipality, you will be placed on a waiting list until a spot opens up. Therefore, we recommend registering your child for daycare well in advance, starting from the end of the first trimester of pregnancy (except for certain municipalities that only accept registration from the 6th month of pregnancy).
The cost of public daycares depends on your income and the number of children in your household. Each case is assessed individually.

Private Daycares

Two-thirds of daycare places in Luxembourg are in private daycares, which amounts to 17,000 places. You can approach any private daycare, not just those in your municipality of residence. We recommend choosing one either near your home or close to your workplace. Private daycares must obtain the same authorizations as municipal daycares. Therefore, the educational quality and safety of the children are assured. However, each daycare is free to operate and organize itself. Some will function by age groups, while others prefer mixed-age spaces where children can learn from one another.
You will find various educational approaches in private daycares, allowing you to choose one that aligns with your parenting philosophy. In Luxembourg, many Montessori daycares focus on child development and free motor skills. Private daycares have very flexible hours, making them compatible with demanding or atypical professional lives. They are ideal for balancing family life and work. Furthermore, you can register your child at any time throughout the year, without waiting for a commission date or the start of the school year. Your child will be welcomed personally into our facilities.

For children aged 4 to 12, we also have daycare centers offering numerous services: minibus transportation to school, cafeteria service, after-school care, extracurricular activities, and tutoring.
