My eldest actually loved Kindergarten, but it was a completely different environment to school. They could do whatever they wanted learning wise at Kindy, so it wasn't structured or limited. We only encountered problems when we got to the official schooling point. In reception she only managed one term before she got bored. Her teacher said to me that he was aware how far ahead she was, but couldn't do any more to stretch her in this year level.

I wish my daughters could have gone to a Waldorf school, but by the time they were old enough the school had to change its pricing structure which meant we couldn't afford it. It was interesting to see how the state/public school system worked when my girls experienced it, though.
