WA schooling, how does it work?

[~clover~]

Thankyou
Good to know it's not full time. Is it same as primary school & free? Or general school fees? Or is it like day care/pre school & expensive?
Ds turns 4 in march next year, so would start next year.

Thanks

Most public kindys are free or small contribution. There are private ones of course, but they come with private fees.

Just wanted to add to what CK has already said that there is the new standardisation coming in soon where all kindies will be working up to 5 full days a week - way too much for little ones I think but that's a different story.

Anyway, they are all gradually phasing in the extra days - some more quickly than others. I know a few kindies, albeit private ones, that are full time already. My DD2 will be doing 4 full days of kindy next year, whereas DD1 is doing 3 full days this year.
