Can I just say alot of childcare centres run excellent kindy and preprep groups aswell. The benefit of childcare is that you may be able to get the govt assistance and/or the childcare rebate.
Thats what i was going to say, my 2 and 3 yr old both go to a childcare center, my 3 yr old is in the kindy room there, she is 4 in june and then she will go into their pre prep program, then in 2010 she will attend prep.
She only goes 1 day a week and we get reduced fees from centerlink.
