You must ...Hi Pam - Congrats on your upcoming move. You must be so busy as your prepare...I remember the process and it's nuts! As for maternelle, some will allow you to do half days, especially at the beginning. It often depends on the school director. Another possibility is bringing your little one home for lunch (11:30 - 1:30) then back for afternoon nap and play. It IS a long day. We found that it was worth toughing out the initial transition period in order to get the kids acclimated and learning french faster. They then made friends more easily and everything fell into place. It also depends a lot of your child, of course. Since the 3YO is your youngest, perhaps he will want to be just like his big sibs and "go to school?" Adele initially went two full days and two half days - that ended up being a good balance for her as she adjusted. <br /><br />Good luck to you and thanks for reading the blog!Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777428548325449024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615835669512085965.post-49524721609049856852012-05-14T10:49:43.803+02:002012-05-14T10:49:43.803+02:00Merci, Lee!

My husband and I are getting ready to move to Paris with our 4 children this summer! Our youngest will be 3 next month and I've been considering l'ecole maternelle in the fall. It just seems like long hours! Is he going to work or nursery school!! I'm wondering if I could do half days with him to start...he's SO attached to me and I think the move is going to be stressful enough for him. <br />Anyway..I enjoy reading your blog! Love the photos of your sweet Adele!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00941799264944510946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615835669512085965.post-88082280121383136552012-05-11T21:01:15.075+02:002012-05-11T21:01:15.075+02:00So fascinating to watch the acculturation process ...So fascinating to watch the acculturation process in children.
