I think since he won't be 4 till July 1st then you miss the cut off for next year or he will have to do 2 years of kindy because the cut off for prep is 5 by June 30 (so he will start 2015). ETA: http://education.qld.gov.au/strategi...hood/prep.html is a good site where you can plug in your child's birth information to see the years they can start.

I'd wait personally. Take the next year to visit places in your area and find one you're comfortable with. Ask lots of questions, trust your instincts. That then also gives him another year to get more confidence with toileting and such.

Side note, there are concessions for those who have health care cards.
