At what age do you put your toddler in Pre-K?

Question

My daughter's birthday is Feb 10. She will be 4 next Feb. My situation is really complicated as we're in Mexico and have been here for almost 1 year 1/2 waiting for my husbands papers. (Don't judge me until you ask to hear my story) 
My questions...

Should I put my daughter in school here (Mexico) with her being only 3? Is she too young for Pre-K at 3 years old? 
Should I wait until we go back to South Carolina within the next 4 months to put her in Pre-K? 
Should I wait until she turns 4 in Feb 2016 then put her in Pre-K Aug 2016? 
If I were to put her in school here with her being only 3, when we go back to South Carolina, will her school records be transferred or will she have to repeat Pre-K? 
What is the actual age a toddler starts Pre-K? 
What is the actual age a child starts Kindergarten?

Little Eva, again she's only 3.

Sorry, a lot of questions, I know. 
Thank you in advance for any answers. I'm stressing here. Big time. Muchas gracias.

Answer

We lived in Ecuador for a few years and it's typical to start pre K at 3. Then when we moved back to the US they had to hold us back until we were the same age as the other kids. But my mom never regretted it because we were always ahead of the class! I say go for it!

Answer

If financially able I would put my kid in school at 2-2 1/2 for a couple short half days so they can learn different things like listening to others and playing with friends...

Answer

I don't put my son in anything because he was in daycare till he was 3 1/2, I spent the time with him running a daycare. He started kindergarten when he was 5. His birthday is August 31st, he started school end of September because of the teacher strike, this year he's just turned 6 today and he starts school on September 8th.

Answer

My daughter started in toddler 2's twice a week, 2 hours, bridge to pre-k at 2 1/2 three days a week 2 hours, 3 year old pre-k 5 days a week for MW 4 hours but with extra phonics for 1.5 hours, TUESTHUR 3.25 hours but with sports or tae kwon do after school, Friday 2.5 hours.  Now she's 4 turning 5 in January - I have her in pre-K Montessori 5 days a week for 7 hours (do naps or rest time if needed).  Get her ready for full day kindergarten next year at the public elementary school.   I did full day because I'm due any day now and she will get more attention and will at least do more at school than sitting at home with me dead tired from a newborn either watching TV or playing on an iPad ....

Answer

My kids went to k3 at headstart when they were 3 and then at the age of 4 the went to Pre-k at the same headstart just a different room. If you decided not to send her you can always look up free websites for Pre-k age or use abcmouse.com it is like $8 a month but totally worth it. Then she is still getting some Pre-k just not in a classroom setting.

Answer

We did pre K at 4 but there were kids as young as two in pre k depending on how advanced there development was. I think it just depends on your child and what she is ready for :)
