School for 2-year old in Brussels

All bilingual schools are private in Belgium. Don't confuse these with French immersion schools in the public system. Cost between 10-30k.

The population of Brussels is around 50% non Belgium, it means it is not unusual to find 40% of children in public French schools speak another language at home. This is comparable to the private French-English bilingual schools where many children do not speak French or English at home. They are very used to children who do not speak the school language.

You find few Belgians in the private school system, mainly internationals so you will find many of the bilingual schools with few or no French speakers in classes so choose wisely if this is your route.

Public school starts at 2.5 and is free in the main, you pay for before and after school child care (typical 7.30-18.00/30), hot lunches, trips, swimming, some materials. School for a 2.5 year old in French is called maternelle 2.5-6 years and that my be incorporated into a school to age 12 called fondamentale.

Brussels has a fast growing population and some areas have schools at capacity, so getting a school place in certain areas is very hard.
