Can someone please explain to me about school in qld!! I am totally confused. I have been googling and am confused about what kindy/preschool/prep is, are they talking about the same thing or are they different? And I see people on BB talking 3yo and 4yo kinder, do we have the same thing in qld? I am so totally confused.

My DD was born in March 2009. So when will she start prep?? (that's the yr before yr 1 right?) And what is prep? Is it like full time school and is it at an actual school?

What is the yr before prep?? Whatever that is (kindy or preschool?) I want her to go to that because I guess that's not every day. I don't want her going straight into 5 days a week, that would be a bit of a shock.

Soooooo if someone could help me by telling me what year she needs to go to what and what it actually involves that would be super awesome!! I can't work it out.
