[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]oP here: she's actually only 1 now so it's too early to tell I've just started thinking about it bc she's starting preschool this fall at under 2. And no, we don't plan to move to a 9/1 cut off - the whole area is 12/31 cut off. But it does concern me as you say that summer programs college etc some kids will be a full 18 months ahead... To me it seems debatable to hold back a summer birthday so they're 6 before K, but even if I held her back she wouldn't be 6 till December so she wouldn't be that old. I worry she will be aware when her preschool friends go to kindergarten and she has to do the extra year of preschool. Maybe better to repeat twos or threes in preschool before she knows any different ?[/quote] Our school has a 5s class for kids who technically meet the deadline but would benefit from some extra preschool. She's only 1, so you can't know now, but kids don't really care that much about their "friends" in preschool. [/quote]
