WHAT CLASS WILL MY BABY BE IN?
Usually the year of your child's birth will determine the class s/he goes into when starting school. Afterwards, the
child can be boosted ahead or held back a year according to how s/he gets on. For instance, my two-and-a-half year old boys
got into the Petite Section of Maternelle in September 2003 because they would turn three in December; but my friend's son
who was from January 2004 (just a month younger) was made to stay in the Toute Petite Section.
