What she is 'learning' at school, is the same as her 3 year old brother was learning in UK playschool!!!! eg, phonics, opposites etc.
Your son will be eligable for assistance with a daycare place, depending on your income. Age does not matter, he can't start kindy until he is 4 (unless they have spaces which is very unlikely) as theb government assist with childcare from babies upwards. My son goes to daycare 2 days per week and it costs $12 a week, with family assist. The min government will help with is 2 days care, if you work/volunteer for 15hrs+ per week, they will help with 5 days care.
Hope that helps
