[quote=Anonymous]So slightly different perspective here but both my kids have winter (Dec/Jan) birthdays meaning they are way past the cutoff of Sep 1st. I specifically chose programs that had a 2.5 y/o option so that they were with kids that were in a similar age range. There still is an oldest and a youngest in the class but the biggest range it could be was 6 months, not a year. At age 2 or 3 there are pronounced differences between a just turned two year old and an almost three year old. Those differences become smaller at age 5 or 6. Look at sports classes. There's often a 2.5 - 4 year old option and a 3-5 year old option. Some 3 year olds are better in a group in a group with some two year olds because it their first time playing a sport and others can handle playing against 5 year olds. My DD could totally handle doing activities with 5 year olds when she was 3.5 but my DS is not there yet. It really depends on the kid.

I know some PPs mentioned Montessori classes with mixed ages but that curriculum is set up to handle mixed ages in one room. Its not the same. [/quote]
