[quote=Anonymous]We are in VA so the cutoff is Sept 30 and I sent my mid Sept birthday girl to public FCPS K last fall a few weeks before she turned 5.

I suspect a lot of how this goes depends on birth order. My daughter is second born so I feel like she has a lot of social skills developed like negotiating, taking turns, telling kids to stop xyz etc, that a first born sometimes struggles with. We actually did a trial last summer at daycare where she was the oldest in the group and her behavior regressed to baby behavior. Then we put her in another group where she was the youngest and the staff couldn't believe she was completely engaged, stimulated, happy, a totally different child they said. They also thought she was likely bored in the first group. So we continued onto K and she's done great. She is above grade level in both math and reading, and has a regular group of kids she associates with. I was really surprised the class only has 1 redshirted summer boy and the rest are a very even spread of birthdays throughout the academic year. The reports from the teacher are always positive. I have absolutely no regrets at this time. [/quote]
