[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, were all your friends born between Oct 1 and Sep 30 in the year you were born?  Even those that you consider your "own age"?

A 5 year old K child may be closer in age to a PK4 kid than a fellow kindergartener.  I don't think "we've hit on a drawback of Montessori" at all.  Mixed age classes mean your kid can make social connections with a wide range of kids, some close in age (though not necessarily in the same grade) and others older (who they learn from) or younger (who they take a leadership role with).

PP here.  Yes, I can see this.  And the new first grade only elementary class next year is an anomaly (and also a gift - 10 students and one teacher though I imagine they will start moving PK4s into it in the early spring).  But for OP, this might be a reason to sit out at CMI a year and then come back when the class is closer to 20 and her daughter has more social options.  Of course, her dd might be placed in the other elementary class, but with possible ADD, they likely want her in the class where she'll get more teacher attention and have less distractions.
