MATERNELLE (small school) is built on a model primarily educational, not social or hygienist. In other words it is a school: a “first” school, to make early learning; a fully fledged school.
It has an educational program (curriculum) defined by the French Ministry of Education and clearly distinguished from that assigned to the elementary school where one learns, not least to “become students” and to develop and structure its language (spoken primarily, but also into writing, to think about the world and begin able to analyze the language). Reconcile its institutional aims the development and growth of young children, for the valuation of different skills in young children.
