How much does childcare cost in Andorra in 2026?

Diari d’Andorra’s parish comparison of communal full-day places puts Escaldes-Engordany near €358 a month for residents and non-residents on the same full-board band, with Andorra la Vella near €364 for parish residents and about €485 for non-residents of the capital. Ordino sits at the high end near €440 for residents and about €491 for non-residents. National averages for full-day commune care land near €395, with half-day morning bands often near €216–330 depending on closing time and parish.

Encamp, Canillo, La Massana, and Sant Julià de Lòria fill the middle of that map. Large-family, single-parent, and disability card discounts exist in some communes, but you still need the live parish tariff sheet before you assume a 20% cut. Waiting lists are real on the denser valley floor even when the euro quote looks softer than a private nursery.

Private nurseries in lifestyle guides often sit near €500–800 a month per child. International school early years jump again: British College nursery published near €9,800 a year for 2026/27, and Agora Andorra nursery bands start near €6,400 before admission cash: International school costs. Those products solve language and curriculum goals, not “cheap daycare.”

Parish choice still matters for drop-off. A cheaper Ordino nursery quote fails if your job and lease sit on Avinguda Meritxell and the morning Mou-T hop eats the saving: Where to live. Build rent, nursery, and healthcare top-ups on one sheet: Monthly budget and Healthcare costs.
