[quote=Anonymous]I would just keep in mind that while you may think of your child as being a full year older than some kids if she goes to K on schedule, there will be plenty of other kids in the class with Oct./Nov./Dec. birthdays (as well as possibly a few Aug./Sept. who red-shirted). There really isn't a downside to starting on time. K has a lot of new experiences, not just academic ones. Also, there is always going to be a range of academic abilities in a K class -- the teachers are used to dealing with that. If you're dead set on trying to start your child early, the only option I know of is private K then test into public.[/quote]
