[quote=Anonymous]I started my daughter on time in VA with September bday. She now goes to a DC/MD private so is actually past the cut off but in an older grade. I have met way more kids with August and September birthdays that are a full year older than year than ones that are her age. Now that’s she older I don’t rwally regret sending her because she is very mature for her age as well and seems to keep up academically but I also know that I probably wouldn’t have regretted holding her back. I would suggest talking to the schools you are interested in for their opinion. Often they will tell you that they evaluate the children themselves and decide whether or not they are ready for kindergarten. Some of the privates absolutely do not want the young kids (Potomac and Maret come to mind). Some are more flexible. If you’re thinking about holding back just do it. If you think your kid is ready then go for it. Kind of that simple. [/quote]
