Someone sent me this:
"Our boarding school in Villars (Switzerland) welcomes girls and boys from ages 3 to 13, as boarders or day pupils."

Boarding from the age of 3. Who does this?

I've seen boarding schools in this country offering boarding for 3 year-olds too. I try to be charitable and imagine it's for parents being deployed by the armed forces.

I think you’d find that schools offer day places for 3 year olds, not boarding.

I suspect if you tried to enrol your 3y old for boarding you’d be told no. Also that they are probably referring to ‘day boarding’ for the younger years which will look a lot like school plus wraparound care.

Schools that are day & boarding 3-13 will usually only take boarders from 7 at the very youngest.

Heartbreaking. Why bother having kids for someone else to rear? I cannot think of any reason why a three year old should go to a boarding school even if a parent was ill.
