[quote=Anonymous]My early September girl started K in Virginia a week or so before she turned 5. We didn’t redshirt for several reasons (none of which related to daycare tuition, as the daycare schedule was 10x easier than school). One of the BIG reasons was all of her friends were going into K, and she would have been crushed to be left behind and would have thought it was because we thought she wasn’t ready. So I’m sympathetic to OP and her daughter. That being said, socially and emotionally, she struggles. It’s getting better in upper elementary, and her age might be irrelevant, and I don’t regret having her start at almost 5, but I think it would have been fine if she started a year later, provided she knew that at the start of preK. I’d say consider a private hybrid/early K program if you can find one that works for you. Somewhere other than her current preschool/daycare so she doesn’t feel like she got left behind. [/quote]
