Childcare Service Voucher

The childcare-service voucher (Chèque-service Accueil) is a state contribution towards the cost of childcare for all children aged between 0 and 12 living in Luxembourg. Parents must apply to join the CSA from their local authority of residence, or from the Caisse pour l’avenir des enfants (CAE) if they are employed in Luxembourg but do not live there.

To qualify for the childcare-service voucher, children must :

  • be under 13 years of age and/or ;
  • not have left basic education.

The CSA contract is valid for 12 months. Parents are responsible for renewing their registration before the expiry date.
