nup 3yr old isn't compulsory. i chose to send DD1 because she was getting bored with my offerings at home

as for 4yr old kinder believe it or not we actually got our papers for that when DD1 was born!. i submitted them to council when she was 3 mths old! we live in a fast growing municipality and the reasoning behind it is to see how many children will require places and if the current infrastructure can support the required places.

i got confirmation last week that DD1 had been accepted into the first choice 4yr old kinder i chose so I'm very relieved
