So after having arrived in Paris we have finally got through the endless paperwork at the mairie!!! to get DD (just turned 4yrs) a place at maternelle. Great news… except when meeting the director for the first time today, he seemed to be of the impression that children can only attend maternelle full time. I told him my DD was not a French speaker and needed time to settle in and would therefore like to only attend in the mornings for now to which I got quite an offensive response, clearly he was not impressed! But I am of the opinion that maternelle is not obligatory by law to attend at all so surely I can use DD's place for part time sessions?
Anyone been in a similar position? Anyone know any ways of dealing with thisk kind of awkwardness?
