Kindergarten ages??? - spinoff of Kindergarten roll call


redplaydoh wrote: I've noticed several people mentioning the cut-off dates. What age will your child be when s/he starts kindergarten?

Here in Switzerland they start when they're 4... If they are 4 when the school year starts that's when they go to Kindergarten from what I understand.

Jamison'smama replied: Jamison will be 4 when she starts. The cut off here is they have to be 5 by September 30th.

Boo&BugsMom replied: Kids have to be 5 when they enter, the day after Labor Day. I like that cut off. 4 just seems too young to me.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: The cutoff in Idaho is the child has to be 5 before September 1st.

MommyToAshley replied: Ashley will be 4 when she enters Kindergarten. The cut-off here is Sept 15. She starts on Aug 15th, and then turn 5 on Sept 5th.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied:
Ashley and Logan share that birthday, but with our cutoff, he'll miss it. So, he'll be nearly 6 when he starts kindergarten. Fine by me, Logan's small, I'd rather he be small and one of the oldest in his class than small and one of the youngest.

lovemy2 replied: Where I am in NY State they have to be 5 by Dec. 1st of the year they start - so Olivia having turned 5 in June will be a little over 5 when she starts....

alice&arik replied: I think the cut-off here is Sept. 10? and they have to be 5. I don't know when the first day is, can't remember much lately. blush.gif Arik will be a young 5 when he starts, and some people think he should go to K-1 which is like pre-k. I think he is too smart to have to wait another year. happy.gif

jcc64 replied: Our cut off is Dec 1, and Corey will be 4, about to be 5, when she starts. My boys were both 4 when they started, and they did fine.

luvmykids replied: TBH I don't know what our cutoff is, just that mine make it laugh.gif All three of them will be five when they start, actually closer to five 1/2.

ediep replied: our cut off is sept 30 and Jason just makes it, he'll be 4 for the first few weeks of kindergarden

C&K*s Mommie replied: Here in Florida for public schools you have to be 5 by mid-September to go to kindergarten.
Our daughter is going to a private christian school, where the cut-off is the end of the yr on Dec 31st. Christian will be 4 when she starts in 5weeks to kindergarten, and will turn 5 in November.

A&A'smommy replied: you have to be 5 when they enter kindergarden here.. unless its changed I have get dh to check again wink.gif

Cece00 replied: 5 by Sep 30 here.

Ross will be 5, almost 6 when he starts K. His birthday is in August so he missed the cutoff last yr.

Boo&BugsMom replied:
We have that dilemma with Tanner. He will be one of the youngest in his class, but he would be soooooo bored in another year of pre-k. I'm glad he listens to others way better than he listens to me. laugh.gif

maestra replied: Jaci will be 4 when she enters. The deadline here is August 31, but they can be tested for early entry if their birthdate is from sept to dec. Jaci passed the tests for early entry.

DansMom replied: The cutoff in Michigan is December 1, and Daniel will still be 4 when he starts.

coasterqueen replied: Cut-off here is age 5 by September 1st - no exceptions. Kylie misses the cut-off by 6 days. sleep.gif

CantWait replied: In Canada the age they go depends on what part of the country you live in. Anthony won't be going till next year when he is 5. Whereas Robbie started at 4 because we lived in Ontario.

Not sure what the cut off is though. He was born in July so I don't worry about the cut off. tongue.gif

holley79 replied: With the way the cut off is Annika won't be 5 in time so she will start when she is closer to 6 if we go with the public school. If I get her into the daycare center that is attached to the church's academy there is a possiblity she will be allowed to start early if she tests well.

3xsthefun replied: Here they have to be 5 yrs old before Sept. 1st. Maegan will be 5 1/2 years old when she starts since her birthday is in November.

MomToJade&Jordan replied: Jade will be 4 when she starts. The cutoff here is 5 before Sept 1st and she just makes it being born on Aug 30th. She will be 4 for the first 10 days of school.

Crystalina replied: Izabella had just turned 5 when she started. Her pre-school suggested I keep her out for one more year only because of her size (she's very tiny) but I took her to the kindergarten placement test and she did great so I stuck her in. She was mentally ready. Yes, she is the smallest in her class but I'm glad I put her in when I did. Now she will be starting 1st grade and she's so excited. smile.gif
