Enrolling in Kindergarten

chrispix by chrispix Walking(January 2007) (rank 500+)
There is a great website that has terrific content for U.S. parents:   www.greatschools.net

Here is an excerpt from one of their articles:
http://www.greatschools.net/cgi-bin/showarticle/ca/249

In most states, kindergarten attendance is optional.

Most school districts are required by law to offer a kindergarten program for

interested parents.

Districts vary on when they begin taking sign-ups for kindergarten. Most begin pre-registration in early spring for the following fall. The number of hours your child will spend in school each day varies from district to district, although the state requires that students complete a minimum number of hours per year."

Over here in Australia, in Adelaide where i live, i know the children can start kindy at the age of 2. It's called occassional care until they're 3, then it's called kindy.

They do all this kindy in the one building etc. My daughter is 4 in March, and she's been going since she was 2. She loves kindy.
