So I just rang my training centre and spoke to the other lecturer. She said that I will need to experience long day care. I said "don't forget I am not 18 living at home with my parents and/or don't have children old enough to look after themselves for long periods. It is just impossible for me to be gone from 6/7 in the morning until 6/7 at night" So she is going to see what she can find out.

If they had told me this prior to signing up I wouldn't have bothered. I'm not in a desperate need for my Diploma. I was doing it because it was free. Really annoyed that I was told my kindy work would be fine, to now to be told it won't.
