@jjgodman So he actually did not qualify for speech. Our district offers speech to children that qualify, then also have a special needs preschool and the assessment covers both, and you can qualify for none/one/both. He did not qualify and they were kind of like “I don’t even know why you’re...

@ariel They do! Thanks for the suggestion. I thought about that as well.

@beachgal77 True- but I need to register him for the PreK in November or Kindergarten in March so I really have like six months if i want to secure schooling beyond daycare. Although that six months could mean a lot with his development so we’ll see! I do worry more about the emotions than...

@triangulumvivid Thank you!

@rayne49 Thanks for this! I also went at 6 but I’m a late August birthday (just a few before the cutoff) but I never really had an issue being older.

@writeletters15 Thank you!! You’re so right. My son adjusts pretty well even if it’s a little rough at first. I really think he’d be okay. His teachers have explained that he is pretty self aware with his peers, sometimes knowing he wants to play alone, and walks away from conflict. So I guess I...

@discombobulated1 Sept 1!

@kevfr Sounds like you’ve got a great plan! I did not consider that if I send my child to the private pre-K next year, he will go to kindergarten with entirely different kids the following year.

@eric1844 I don’t know if it’s possible for you to leave earlier, but having flexibility to leave around 4-4:30, get dinner, ready and eat as a family is when we spend the most time with our kids. We try to go for a walk or let them play outside for a bit, some nights it’s bath night, and then...

@nweike This is helpful! Thanks.

@nicholas55 Thanks for the detailed feedback! It’s much appreciated.

@alycia Most schools in the state I grew up in, and in the state we are in now, are late august or September cut offs!

@busygrl Thank you!

@aspiringchristian105 Thanks! My guy is July 2. I am leaning towards 5 but something keeps nagging me to send him later. I was august and went at 6.

@joshanna With my toddlers I keep meals easy when I’m alone. On weekends we do the park, Target or grocery store either morning or afternoon to break the day up.

@ariel Thank you for this! It means a lot. My guy is 95% for height (his cousin is too 🤣) but he’s very sensitive and tall and skinny so I hadn’t considered the size thing. That’s a good point.

@needs2b3 Thank you!

@towardsthemark Thanks!!

@cherivee That is so nice! I wish that were an option here. They do not offer anything before kindergarten that is universal to all kids.

@cherivee Much appreciated! Thanks for the link. What is UPK? I haven’t heard that term before.
