Advice on choosing a maternelle in Monaco?

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for advice on choosing a maternelle (preschool) in Monaco for my daughter, who's turning 3 next year. We’re considering between FANB and state schools (namely École du Parc).

I’d love to hear any experiences or recommendations from parents who have kids at either of these schools or any others you might suggest.

Thanks

École du Parc was amazing for my kid! Condamine as well afterwards. When we moved to the other side of town my son cried and said he didn’t want to change school so we had to ask for a derogation to keep him there.

FANB is fine as well, I guess it boils down to whether you are ok with the other parents being normal people or you want Botox ladies with overpriced clothes.

I went to FANB and the preschool was good! it has obviously evolved but i remember having a really good experience. I think FANB becomes really problematic in College years (high school)
