    Is there a bus service that would take her to and from school? It will be a huge slog for you, especially if both of you plan on working once she's at school - so that is something to factor in as well - how would you be able to work the travel time in around work. We have to drive 42km one way once a week for preschool but once they turn 4 I can put them on the school bus (dedicated school bus) We haven't been able to justify more than 1 day a week at preschool because of the travel costs it would involve.

    LOL yeah, we will probably move up that way once we decide. We're in Caboolture, and looking at a Sunshine Coast school. Caloundra is our number one, which has a wait list and preferential selectioning, probably assuming you attend they're early childhood centre. I'm hoping for a job transfer to a closer kindergarten when one is available. No school bus in our area, at this stage, but there is one in more local areas.

    Ugh it's so hard hey. I always said I'd never be one of THOSE parents who put their kid on a list for a school but ... lol here I am.
