Cost for French preschools?

Hi.Are you talking about a public school?In that case,I don't see why your child can't attend the local school.In France,preschool is free.Kids start at 3 years (2.5 in some places).Inscriptions usually take place in may for schoolstart in septembre.The school depends on your adress.If you allready know where you will be living,contact the "mairie".They will tell you what school your child "belongs" to.The only things to pay,are meals at noon.Don't hesitate if you think I can give you more information.

Here is a link (in French-but if you don't speak enough french try google translation to get the general idea)

Thanks for the information.  I am glad to hear that school might be free for my son.  I had just assumed that if I was not eligible for some social services such as free healthcare that school would also not be free.

No.School's free for everybody.To give you an example,when my daughter was in preschool,the headteacher accepted several children of illigal immigrants.People who didn't have free healthcare -or even any kind of visa.
You just need to take care of inscriptions in time-especially if you are going to live in a bigger town.In small places they're often just more than happy to get more pupils!

Good luck on your moving-plans.
