Children five and above must go to school - do enroll this child. The other child is too young for public school but if you can find a day-care that is fine as well.

The Supreme Court says that all children, legal or not, have a right to attend public school.

That can be tricky but the answer I would give is yes. have you tried doing it yet? Sometimes I have seen it done under a guardianship when the actual parents are not here. If you are here, your kids have a right to be educated.
