Résumé
This study examines sample classrooms in order to evaluate the cognitive and socialdimensions of the transition of students from preschool to primary school, with a specialfocus on "passerelle" classes, which are a special type of transitional preschool programthat exist in France. A main interest of the study is children's transition from home andcommunity life to "class life" (developmental success in a formal education setting).Grounded in evidence-based practices, the present empirical and in-depth approachtakes place at École Maternelle (ÉM) Perrault in Pézenas (Hérault). As of January 2021,the study was composed of 102 pupils divided into four multi-level classes (from 25 to73 months), and the "passerelle" class itself (from 21 to 42 months). The "passerelle"program in this town has existed since 2000, to welcome children to school alongsidetheir parents, with the aim of working collaboratively with the other social stakeholdersinvolved in early childhood development.
