2) as an expat, are my kids able to attend public Kindergarden?
3) With Dollar being weak, is the move worth it? we make in the range of
70K-85K and live modestly.
any and every help/information is appreciated.

Hi!
For US and other foreignors, the regulations have been considerably complicated - it is usually advisable to start the red tape at the French Consulate in USA.
For your wife if she wants to work, same situation as you - you may find it rather difficult to get work
Travail des étrangers - Service-public.fr
For your wife if she wants to work, same situation as you - you may find it rather difficult to get work, even if she has a qualification and speaks reasonable French.
For the children: no real problem.
For the budget, that should be no problem - the 70 to 85k; is that euro or US Dollar? That to work out what Income Tax you would pay.
How many children do you have?
Is the income all salaried?
You have in France to declare your world income, and if you have foreign income, the uncome and the taxed paid too.
Yours,
