Hi Snowy
they must do things differently over there. In Aust the first formal kinder (where I am anyway) is 3 yo kinder, and as Jess isn't 3 until SEpt she can't go till next year, after she has turned 3. I could put her in crehe but that costs way more of course and I feel it it fair to leave creche places for kids whose parents work. Or there are play groups where parents go and stay with their child. I do know that when I left Jordan and Joshua at creche at about the same age as wolf, when I worked, they both screamed and cried when I left, and Jordan also used to cry when I picked her up. Maybe he really isn't quite ready and maybe it does stress him out. I took Josh out of care and put him with my cousin who had a child the same age, as I didn't like the way he was. He was fine from then on, never cried when I left him. Good luck with it, it is hard to know what to do and all kids are different too, some LOVE it and others just want to be with their mums LOL
