Explorer Publishing offers this useful information about France as a guide to nursery and pre school in France, and to help you find a school in France for your child.Nurseries & Pre-Schools
French nursery schools, or écoles maternelles, accept children from two to six years of age and are free of charge. To be accepted your child must be two years old at the start of school in September and when there are more children than places, older children are given preference.
Nearly every French school offers a before and after-school childcare system for which you’ll have to pay. While the French schools are uniform in their curriculum, the various international and bilingual schools subscribe to different philosophies.
