I would like her to go there, but i dont actually have a license or my own car!

You can put her on a waiting list where you are living now and then when you know where you are moving to swap her to the waiting list at the nearest kindy there.

Zac has been on a waiting list at Botany since he was 2. We recently moved to Ellerslie and swapped his waiting list to a kindy in Remuera and he starts tomorrow...which I am quietly stressing about!!!]]> Mon, 17 Nov 2008 12:23:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22197&PID=545528&title=what-age-did-your-child-start-kindy#545528 <![CDATA[What age did your child start kindy? : My 3 year old is yet to attend...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22197&PID=545467&title=what-age-did-your-child-start-kindy#545467 Author: xnikx

I chose not to send my DD to kindy. She went to Playcentre instead. We started when she was about 10 months old and she went right though till the week before she started school. I feel she didn't miss anything by not going to kindy. Playcentre was awesome, she had all the same sorts of experiences there that other children had at kindy. Plus she made friends that shes still friends with now, 5 years on.]]> Sat, 15 Nov 2008 10:36:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22197&PID=544515&title=what-age-did-your-child-start-kindy#544515 <![CDATA[What age did your child start kindy? : sarah was about 2yrs 3mths when...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22197&PID=544368&title=what-age-did-your-child-start-kindy#544368 Author: Candkids

My eldest started as soon as he turned 2 and he loved it!! Now there are lots more kids in the area so the waiting list is longer, Leo is 2 1/2 and will either start near the end of this year or early next year.  Good luck!!

My youngest started just before she turned 4 but that was because I was working full time and her carer couldn't get her to kindy. But once she started it she loved it!!

My other 2 started around 3 from memory.

Brenna - which kindys did you call. There are some out there taking them from 2.5yrs (even younger if toilet trained)]]> Wed, 05 Nov 2008 09:15:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22197&PID=536180&title=what-age-did-your-child-start-kindy#536180 <![CDATA[What age did your child start kindy? : Brenna - we are in Morrinsville...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22197&PID=536109&title=what-age-did-your-child-start-kindy#536109 Author: my2girls

Brenna - we are in Morrinsville - Rushton Road Kindy, they take them from 2.5 years here, places are available on an age basis rather than a first in first served basis.

Looks like everyone is different from when their kids started. I have a couple of friends with children a little younger and they are starting begining of next year, which would be nice for my daughter to start with them as she plays with them all the time. Its just hard for me to let go i think and come to terms with the fact that she is getting older ]]> Wed, 05 Nov 2008 07:27:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22197&PID=536109&title=what-age-did-your-child-start-kindy#536109 <![CDATA[What age did your child start kindy? : Charlotte started for 2 mornings...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=22197&PID=536098&title=what-age-did-your-child-start-kindy#536098 Author: Jennz

Charlotte started for 2 mornings a week (9-12) at 2 years, 6 months. She moved up to 3 mornings 3 months later and then started 5 mornings a week when she was 3 1/2.

My DD has just been called up to start kindy (she is 2yrs 7mths), i said i wasnt ready yet and would be happier next year, im just wondering what age others started their kids at kindy?

Do you think starting them too early would mean that they would get sick of it by the time they go to school, or do you think it would be good to start around 3? Ohhh what to do ( i think im just scared i dont know what i would do without her! LOL)
