    No prob PP and how rude of the office lady Book a tour and take DD in there and meet the Principal and visit a couple of kindy classrooms. The Principal may think differently to the office lady esp after meeting with your DD.

    Olive- I so agree that it is confusing and easy to think it is young when there are different rules in each different state. The Education need to get their act together and get education the same in every state. They are currently working on and implementing a National Curriculum and maybe they will think about getting school starting ages the same in every state. I wont hold my breathe though

    There is an absolute *I can’t find non-offensive word* office lady at my DS’s school too. There’s always one. But wow, your office lady, that was breathtakingly rude. DH is egging me on to call her on her rudeness (but I’m still a bit too shocked by it to really take her on). I will next time though I reckon. Good luck with your office lady too.

    And it sounds like your DD will be just fine at school! Hooray!

    Wow, i am completely shocked by that incredibly rude admin person, i would be speaking with the principal about that as its unacceptable!

    My DD started this year, and i was concerned she would be one of the youngest as she turns 5 in mid march. She has been absolutely fine, and it turns out most of the kids in her class are also just turning 5 in the next few months.

    Could the school do an orientation type day and give you their advice about if she is ready? She really hasn't missed too much so far, so i wouldn't be worried about it from that perspective either.
