The service voucher changes as of January 1, 2027. The state increases the number of free hours for families, the billing rules become the same in all crèches, and you pay the hours from your child's welcome rather than a package. Here is the essential, simply explained, and what it concretely changes with the Livange Beetle Nativity Scene.
From January 1, 2027, the hourly rate for private and communal crèches will necessarily be €6 per hour, and can no longer be exceeded. The State extends the care for families with modest and average incomes.
The reform is the subject of a bill. This page is updated as it is adopted and the publication of the application texts.

Your participation depends on the income of your household, its composition and the number of hours of reception. It is calculated in three stages. First, the 20 free hours per week of the plurilingual education program are deducted, for children from 1 to 4 years old who are not in school. Then, the state covers overtime according to your income: up to 60 hours per week under 2 times the minimum social salary, 29 hours between 2 and 3 times, and 24 hours between 3 and 3.5 times.
