A disadvantage in early childhood poses multiple risks to children's development. Factors such as low socioeconomic status, long-term unemployment of parents, and social isolation may have lasting on a child's chance of reaching their full potential. Whilst not eliminating disadvantage, preschool education can help to the effects of these risk factors and can provide children with a better start to school. However, some of these factors may also be to preschool attendance for groups that would benefit most from preschool education. In Australia, the early years of children's education are the responsibility of man government and non-government agencies, and it occurs in a range of settings. Preschool is aimed at children around four years of age to them for compulsory schooling from the age of six years. In most states and territories, children can start full-time schooling at five years of age, when they enrol in a kindergarten or preparatory year. In 2001, just over half of five-year-olds (57%) were at school with about a third (34%) attending preschool. While in some states and territories, children can preschool before they turn four, participation rates for three-year-olds are much lower than four-year-olds (24% compared with 56% for four-year-olds in 2001). The preschool participation rate of four-year-olds in 2001 (56%) was similar to the rate in 1991 (58%).
