Oh yeah definitely! I don't think you can ever be too young to start playing air guitar...Even if she can't handle the physical demands of the air guitar she can for sure enjoy just strumming a long to tunes!
 
My son goes to school at age 4 (he'll turn 4 very soon). But for a while he has already been there for 2 mornings in the week to get used to it. The kindergarten is in the same building (so he goes there in the afternoons).

I think that they start later with school in Central / Eastern Europe. At least, it also happens in Poland.
 
In Bulgaria real school starts at 7. Pre-school starts at 5 and before that going to kindergarten is optional.

Did he go to kindergarten, Foro? Or is it a brand new experience for him?
 
That's not a bad thing, it gives them time to mature a bit before starting serious school work. Although over here I don't think families would teach their kids anything, and just leave it all to the schools
 
Here it's 7 for real school and 6 for pre-school. There was no pre-school when I started going to school though. Even if there was, I was getting sick all the time up until the age of 10 or so, so I only spent few weeks in kindergarten altogether.
 
Yes, in fact, this year they changed the law to extend obligatory pre-school for the four-year-olds and there was a huge uproar. It's crazy!
 
Yes that's what I thought. Here it's 6 and 4 although we don't call 4 pre-school. At least not anymore. It's called group 1 these days. Going to school from age 5 is obligatory but many people opt for 4 since it's possible.

Copied from wiki:
Until 1985, it used to be a separate non-compulsory form of education (for children aged 4–6 years), after which children (aged 6–12 years) attended the primary school (lagere school). After 1985, both forms were integrated into one, called basisonderwijs (Dutch for primary education). The country also offers both private and subsidized daycares, which are non compulsory, but nevertheless very popular.
