[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the only time it makes sense is if your kid just makes the cut off (like an August birthday) and even then - you know your kid and likely have enough opportunities by then to assess whether they are ready to go into K having only just turned 5. I will say, though, my kid just started PK4 at one of the schools many people call Big 3...and the class is very skewed heavily toward kids who either already turned 5 just prior to school starting or who turn 5 before December. I think, sadly, at this age 6 months to a year can make a huge difference in maturity and when you are sending a three year old who just turned three on admissions playdates with kids who are already 4 - the difference can be stark.
