France’s renowned and unique “Maternelle” – including Pre-K and Kindergarten – allows children to develop their oral language, to acquire the fundamentals of reading, writing, and numeracy, to discover artistic and physical activities, in French and in English, in a stimulating and caring environment. Socialization, and the development of autonomy and self-confidence are also at the center of the curriculum. Maternelle seeks to develop in each child the desire and the pleasure of learning.
