[quote=Anonymous]We did this with our October daughter in MD. She is now in 4th and it has been a good choice for us so far. Some things that affected our choice: she tested in and the teachers told us she was more than able to cope with the work, she is tall for her age and you would never know she is so young, and most importantly, we noticed how much happier she was in preschool when we moved her up into a class of slightly older children. She was dramatically happier and that was why we decided to get her tested.

The result is that even though she is very bright and is in the top math and reading groups, she loves school and has not yet been bored. She likes her classmates and they like her back. First grade was a little challenging for her, but that was, in our eyes, a benefit, since she learned to work hard to improve and is now a confident, self-reliant student. I am certain that she would have been miserable and unchallenged in school if we had not made this choice.

We will probably have other challenges over the years, but to date we do not regret early admission to K.
