Nursery Bilingual School Brussels: General information
Welcome to the Brussels Bilingual Nursery School: General information. Our nursery schools offer a multilingual and multicultural environment for young children aged 3 to 5, in line with the guidelines of the European programme for pre-school education. Furthermore, our educational approach is largely inspired by Nordic and Montessori methods.
Starting in September 2025, three classes/sections will work together:
- Casa Daisy and Casa Lys are bilingual English/French classes for children aged 3 to 5. A true bilingual nursery school in Brussels, Casa Daisy emphasises English as the academic language. Casa Lys emphasises French. Both classes follow the European curriculum with strong influences from a bilingual Montessori nursery school.
- Bluebells is a Swedish bilingual Swedish/Norwegian nursery school for children aged 3 to 5 and follows the European preschool education programme with a Scandinavian touch. This Swedish-Finnish nursery school has been part of our history for many years.
Our values: International Early Childhood School Belgium
- Respect, responsibility, knowledge and integrity.
- Multilingualism.
- Learning together, across cultural borders.
- Differentiation.
The programme: International nursery school and Montessori
The programme at our international early childhood school in Belgium focuses on four main areas:
- Me and my body
- Me as a person
- Me and the others
- Me and the world
We delve into these 4 areas through a theme based approach, taking into account the children’s own interests.
The European Early Education Curriculum walks hand in hand with the Scandinavian and Montessori pedagogies that are also integrated in our Nursery and part of our history since many years.

Multilingual environment
All children in preschool learn English and French. We also offer different mother tongue sections, including French, English, Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish.
Social and individual development
We approach each child from a holistic perspective to ensure he or she develops individually and socially according to his or her specific needs.
A place to run, play and learn!
The château, school buildings and outside facilities are surrounded by extensive parkland, offering a safe and calm environment. These grounds provide plenty of opportunities to explore nature and develop motor skills. Our pedagogical approach to outdoor activities is centered on Nordic values — which means we play outside in all sorts of weather and instill a passion for the outdoors from an early age!

Parental involvement: Partnership with our bilingual nursery school
We encourage and welcome the support and involvement of our parents in the life of the nursery and hope to form a supportive and beneficial partnership between home and school where the child is always our priority. There is an ongoing informal exchange of information between parents and staff on a daily basis when appropriate, so that any difficulties can be addressed and achievements recognised.
Written reports on the children’s progress are provided at the end of the autumn and spring terms. There are also opportunities to discuss your child’s progress at the individual parent-teacher meetings that take place twice a year.
Parents are always welcome to discuss any areas of concern with the nursery staff. Our nursery is a place where children can enjoy positive learning experiences, develop confidence and grow in a healthy, nurturing, happy environment.
