Plurilinguism

Sunflower and Plurilinguism

Since its very beginning, Sunflower has fostered a multilingual and multicultural environment. The children at Sunflower come from many different countries and speak a wide variety of languages at home. Many of the children speak two languages at home. What is true of our children, is also true of our staff. We have always cherished the richness and diversity that this brings. Whilst English is the main language, we speak, sing and display other languages as well, especially Luxembourgish and French.

In 2015 the process was formalised when Sunflower became a certified language centre by the Ministère de l’Éducation nationale, de l’Enfance et de la Jeunesse. The program created by the educational team is tailored to the children’s needs and interests; and meets the  « Cadre de référence national sur l’éducation non formelle des enfants et des jeunes ».

As a consequence of this certification, children between the age of 1 and 4 enjoy the first 20 hours per week (for 46 weeks per year) at Sunflower, free of charge.
