Private Crèches & Multilingual Nurseries
In Luxembourg, families can choose between publicly funded childcare centers (Maisons Relais or conventioned crèches) and private nurseries. Public options are subsidized through the Chèque-Service Accueil program and usually operate in Luxembourgish and French. If you’re looking for an English-speaking environment or a fully bilingual experience, private nurseries are a great choice — offering high-quality, multilingual care, flexible hours, and early learning in English, French, or other languages. Many private crèches are also part of the Chèque-Service Accueil program, helping families reduce monthly costs. You can explore private nursery options on AtSchool.lu, which allows you to search and compare crèches by language, location, and type to find the best fit for your family.

Understanding School Options in Luxembourg
Luxembourg offers three main types of schooling: conventional public schools, public international schools, and private international schools. Traditional public schools follow the national trilingual system — starting in Luxembourgish, moving to German, and gradually adding French. Public international schools offer an alternative within the state system, with English-medium or multilingual sections following the European School or IB frameworks. Private international schools provide full English-language programmes and globally recognised curricula such as IB, Cambridge or American tracks, but with tuition fees.
Below you’ll find links and detailed information for all three options to help you choose the best path for your child.
