[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our daughter turns 5 in mid-July, she was the youngest child in her PreK class this year. We applied for K but have been offered a PreK spot at one of the Big 3 instead.

Would love to hear people’s thoughts about this. She has been doing well in PreK this year so we were a bit surprised by the feedback that she was young for K, just want to do the right thing for her.[/quote]

Normal at our Big 3.

My younger daughter, with a sister at the school, is the only kid I know with a July birthday that was asked to go ahead.  She’s in class with kids more than a year older and maturity wise she’s just now at 10 catching up.  The difference is mainly social - she’s definitely not a leader.  She’s still very academically advanced - 8th grade math in 5th grade, reading at the 7th grade level, etc.  If I had it to do again, I would have kept her back - for social reasons.  The school will accommodate them academically wherever they are and social development is at its own pace.  My DD is also tiny, which doesn’t help - she’s the size of a 3rd grader and very skinny.[/quote]
