The new law on plurilingualism in crèches could contribute to developing children's respect of other languages, cultures and people, according to an academic expert in multilingualism in young children.
Claudine Kirsch, associate professor at the University of Luxembourg specialising in the acquisition of multiple languages and literacy development in young children, says the new law, which includes recognising the child's home language within a crèche, is a positive move.
The new law will see crèches across the country introduce a plurilingual programme of Luxembourgish and French for all children aged between one and four years and children will also be encouraged to speak their home languages.
Taking part in the programme will also allow parents to benefit from free childcare for 20 hours per week for 46 weeks a year.
The new law was voted by the Luxembourg parliament last week and will come into force in October.
