Brussels - 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?

Plenty of affordable options for before and after school care. Kids start going to maternelle (pre-school) at 2-3 years old. Completely affordable and good quality. - Aug 2024


Full-day preschools available and pretty cheap, but will be in local preschools that will be 100% in French (or Dutch depending on your neighborhood). Nannies are not a thing here. - Feb 2023


I know that people had trouble finding good preschools, since there is often a wait list. However, I'm not sure about the general availability. - Jan 2022


Our kids were much older and we did not need after school care. - Sep 2020


Most people use local preschools and daycare and are quite happy with them. No personal experience but we have heard good things. - Sep 2020
