We are looking into sending Alex to a Steiner kindergarten and school.

There are a few in Melbourne.

Basically the philosophy is that a child's job is to play, and they learn through play. It's interesting.

And it's part of my "long term plan" to get DH to agree to send Alex to a private secondary school. At the moment DH refuses to sign all application forms for secondary school, even though you have to practically enrol them at birth here in Melbourne. So I've enrolled him at five private schools with me as only signatory and with me having full responsibility for fees.

I figure if we send Alex to a private primary school I have more chance of convincing DH into private secondary school!

I also like the Steiner philosophy.
My daughter is currently enrolled in two Steiner schools, Warranwood and Little Yarra but I am pretty certain we will go with LY because we've had such good experiences with that school. It's definetly a wise move to enrol your child now because I got told as soon as they are born, they should be on a waiting list to avoid disappointment later.

All the best. Sonja
