    Hi Jarred's Mum.

    I'm looking at sending my 2 year old DD to 1 or 2, 3 hour kindy sessions a week from early next year. Have you thought about a kindy session? Are they available in your area?

    DD is an only child and pretty reserved, so I'm a little worried how she will adapt. I have a friend who has a son around the same age, so we are going to try and send them together. I feel good about the Kindy sessions, 'cause I guess they will be kept very busy and will benefit from the structured learning environment. Here's hoping anyway!!

    I went to kindy with my cousin and I only have very fond and clear memories of it. I don't have as many memories of Pre-school.

    Let us know how you go.

    From my personal experience I would say yes.
    Mason was very shy and not coping with 3yo kinder so we made the decision to put him in creche for one day a week as well.
    It was hard for the first few weeks as he would get very clingy. It didn't take long before he would be asking to go play with the kids.
