Yes, I agree - so confusing!! we have just moved from Melbs to the Gold coast and I am having problems trying to work it all out too!!

my son is just 6 and starting Year 1 at a state school. Fine. But I have another baby almost about to arrive and have already started to think about this little one's early education.

shall I put his/her name down somewhere for pre-prep soon after birth?

Sorry, what does C&K stand for?

also, where can I post for info about occasional care at the Gold Coast ? There seems to be heaps of long term child care, but I am wanting something only once or twice a week for about 3-4 hours at most.
