Abstract

The Ministry of National Education, Children and Youth is responsible for the Early childhood education and care (ECEC) services in Luxembourg. It is also responsible for the pedagogical principles and educational framework for early ECEC of both formal and non-formal preschooling. Luxembourg explicitly monitors children’s development of socio-emotional skills by implementing a wide range of monitoring practices for the services provided and quality of the staff. However, some challenges remain, such as the absence of the children’s view in the assessment.
