DS is starting 3yo kindy on Thursday. He's 2 years 9 months. I was really hesitant about it too because I want him home with me but I've become comfortable with it because I get to stay there with him for the first two terms and then terms 3 and 4 he will go on his own. Plus it's only 2.5 hours one day a week. Any longer than that or more than one day, I'm not sure I could do it.
