My DD starts her first year of Pre-school next week - I think she will have an absolute blast. It is actually held in the same building as her daycare and she already knows alot of the other kids from the Summer Program. Plus she is a very bright outstanding child that, like her momma, LOVES to read- or in her case, likes being read to. Right now because of where her birthday lands on the School calendar I have two options.
1: Go ahead and enroll her in Kindergarten next fall with her turning 5 in mid-September OR
2: Hold her back a full year and enroll her in Kindergarten with her turning 6 in mid-September.
I still have not decided yet, but I will have her evaluated in the Spring to see where she stands as far as academic knowledge and maturity on the emotional and mental aspects. This is almost nerve wracking to think she could quite literally start school the same time I go back to college to finish out my degree.
