RebeccaMatt Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 If my son turns four in May, does he begin pre school the January before he turns four or the January after in Queensland? I've been trying to google it but thought it would probably be easier to ask! Lol we would be moving in April 2017 if everything continues to go as planned, so I'm a bit worried we would be moving in the middle of his first year in pre school and it might be very hard for him to adapt, at the same time could give him a great chance to make friends quickly ???

That is also off their Website so looks like he will start when he is 3 1/2. Be one of the younger ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoll Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 If it's preschool it won't make any odds when you arrive - he may not get a preschool place though, AFAIK there's no guarantee of a free preschool place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaireChris Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 My daughter will be 4 in November 2015 so would she be eligible to start in January 2016? We are hoping to move out at the end of November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
