Missed out on 3yo council kinder :(

that's such a shame you have missed out, keep your name down and see what happens & then perhaps in the time whilst waiting just go with the Child Care one....it's prob better than nothing.

I'm also in QLD & our kindy has the option for 3yr olds but only if it's not full with 4yr olds....not really standard like most places. Therefore my DS will certainly miss out as we only have one in our town & it is 100% full!!!! I will be sending my son to the Child Care centre 2 days a week in the Kinder room.

I have spoken to a number of people in the childcare and kinder area. The opinion I got from all them was the if your child already goes to some form of childcare, then 3yo is not really needed. It is more for the kids who have never been in any form of care so they can learn what to do in a group situation away from their parents. Not sure how many hours your is for, but down this way it is one session of 2 1/2 hours. When I compared that to a full day of child care and what I had been told I decided not to worry about 3yo kinder.

Anyway is it shame that you have missed out on what you wanted.
