    I enrolled him for both 3yo and 4yo and paid a $50 deposit (unrefundable I might add and it doesn't go toward the fee either...) so I'm not sure if it's for just 4yo or both. I will ring them tomorrow and find out for sure.

    Sal they would probably have told you closer to M's 2yo visit I imagine. Do you go to the PS centre?

    OMG at enroling at 12 weeks PG It's almost like some day care waiting lists!

    I guess it seems crazy, but like anything else that you "really"want....if there is a waiting list etc you put your name down. Esp if it's a popular place & you want to secure your payment.
    I wish I had put DS name down when we moved here when he was 12months, it's not likely I'll get him into 3yo kinder & I really want to. In my situation we live semi rural, with only one Kindy!! & a population of about 8,000ppl!!!! grrrrrr, it's packed. Yes I do have the option of one of the childcare centres, but he's been there for Childcare & we both hated it...so much so if he even see's the place he cries...so when not left with many options I would put them on the list as early as possible.

    I'm in City of Casey & my MCHN gave me an expression of interest form for kinda on one of the early visits. She said it was more about making sure they built enough kindas in the baby boom areas by the time the kids got old enough to go there. I didn't bother filling it in as I intend for my son to do kinda at his daycare.
