[quote=Anonymous]With older siblings to learn from, I would lean toward start on time. Kids with older siblings tend to be better about starting school as older 4 or young 5 year olds as they are already trying to keep up with big kids. However, if K is full day where you are and he’s never been in full day school/day care, I might do a private K program if possible and see what happens - he may be ok to advance to 1st, or he may be better off repeating K at the public school. I’ve found that many (not all but many!) private K’s have smaller class sizes and more down time than public K, which may be an easier transition for a “young for grade” kid. [/quote]
