[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So for those who red-shirt - do you have your kids repeat a year of pre-school?  I'm just wondering how this is done logistically.  My son is in a Montessori preschool that offers kindergarten and he is on the young side of his class with a June birthday.  If I wanted to red-shirt him would I have him repeat a year in his current classroom?  Or do kindergarten twice?  I can see the advantage of doing it but feel like it would be weird for him if all of his classmates moved up and he didn't.[/quote]

One of my kids has a December birthday and red shirting isn't an issue.  That said I was able to start her in a preschool at 21 months.  This year I'm having her "repeat" the 2s class because to me that seems easier than repeating the 4s (because I'm not gonna send her to kindergarten early).

I know someone at a Montessori school who is being redshirted and the child did the Montessori kindergarten year and will then do kindergarten at public school.[/quote]
