[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really depends on the school. Both friends should consult their preschool director and talk to their kid’s teachers to gauge what they think.

Dalton has recently changed their website to read: “Dalton adheres strictly to a May 31 deadline for children with summer birthdays.” So if Dalton is on friend’s (boy) list, she’d have to apply this fall. I know Horace Mann and Collegiate also take young summer birthdays. Overall I’d say the May 31st is cuspiest of the cusp but should likely apply to all the schools in the fall.

Early July girl, I’d likely do a few schools to get a feel for them but prepare for a full application cycle the following fall.

My June and July kids all went as old summer birthdays at a TT school known to swing old.[/quote]

This is so interesting as I have a June kid with an application in at Dalton. Our kid is tall, rather advanced and looks and acts older. They said nothing to us about a May 31st cut off. [/quote]

I noticed it earlier this year- change on their website. They still follow ISAAGNY’s 9/1 deadline, but they’re just drawing a redshirting line in the sand and saying they won’t consider an old May birthday— you have to apply when you’re supposed to.

In covid things got really wild— people were holding April— I even heard of a couple March kids (meaning they’d turn SEVEN in March of kindergarten). Let’s see if other schools follow suit. I think it would honestly be helpful. We know that with *most* schools the 9/1 cutoff is BS. So just tell us what your unofficial cutoff is and maybe some of the games will end?[/quote]

This is it. They won't consider redshirts born in the spring. To the prior poster, your young June kid is fine.[/quote]
