Preschool

The school district we are in the cutoff is December 1, my daughter was born on the 10th so she will always be a grade behind her friends that were born the same year, and likely always the oldest in her class. We tried to get into universal pre-k this year through the district and she would have been in the 3 year old program but there were twice as many applicants as there was spots. She will be going to a Playschool program that is kids age 3-5 in one class so she will be in the middle age wise.

Where I’m at now and where I use to live all go by age. They have to be 5 for Kender at the start of the school year. So mine is in prek 3 because of that. I wanted to keep mine home too but seeing as how Kender is all day here, I didn’t want it to hit him hard. He has a hard time with separation anxiety when I leave him anywhere. I need him to start getting use to other kids too.

Mine turns 4 in December and is starting the 3s program at school, their cutoff is Sept 1. I asked about moving him ahead and they said he will be with other kids his age and should be fine. Not sure what your schools cutoff age is.

My kids preschool goes by age, just like the school system. My December baby is in the 3s class as she was born after December 1st. If she was 15 days older, she would be in the 4s class.

Most likely in the 3 class and if her skills are higher they might move her once she turns 4

I’m in Canada. My daughter turns 4 this December and school starts in September here. She is starting prek kindergarden. Not sure where you are, but it might help. My daughter had speech issues we put her in the same type of program helped so much to be around other kids ontop of doing biweekly meetings. And they might put them in the 4 class due to age.
