Hi there, I don't think there is a portuguese school in Malta. On the upside, children usually learn a new language quickly, if she goes to kindergarten she might pick up English fast, some of the language schools also have English courses for young (pre school) children. Good luck

I agree with iris_fabian_david's comment.聽 Small children, when immersed in a new environment with a new language can often gain fluency in very short times.聽 If only most adults could perform as well.聽 Fortunately, small children aren't as afraid of making mistakes and don't let ego and other reasons block their path to learning.

@Saracordeiro hi Sara, my name is Arianna and I live on Costa da Caparica. With my family we are planning to move to Malta and I would like to have a little conversation with you. Is it possible? I' m writing in English because this section doesn' t permit to write in portuguese. I hope to hear you soon. Many thanks.. Arianna
