As a reminder, the Department receives now visitors in its offices situated at 5 Promenade Honoré II. - Hall A (2nd floor).

The enrolment period for nursery school in public and private schools for the 2025-2026 school year will take place on the following dates:
In state schools: from Monday 6 January to Friday 21 March 2025 inclusive
In private schools: from Monday 13 January to Friday 28 March 2025 inclusive 


 

Nursery schools (écoles maternelles) accept children who are too young for compulsory education. Children of three years of age and over, or children who have reached this age during the first quarter of the school year, and children aged four to five, can attend nursery school.
