at what age should your child start school if her birthday is in the end of november 4 or 5?

Answer 1

usually the school would have a cuttoff date for this.
u should start preschool for your child at the age of 3 then. its better to be too early than to be too late. if it doesnt work out, then u can always come back the following year. it depends on the development of your child.

Answer 2

5

Answer 3

It is usually best to wait until they are actually five - they can develop and mature....worst case scenario - they are the smartest kid in class and more mature than the rest...teachers love them AND you kid instantly has an advantage since he/she has had more time to develop.

The case for waiting is often much stronger for boys than girls - at that age boys develop some skills and mature at a slower rate than the girls do.

You can always ask the school what they will be learning and see where your kid fits in - if it is material they already know then you'll be able to make a better judgement.

A lot of kids that start too early end up repeating a grade if they are socially/cognitively behind in the first place.

Answer 4

All the children I know with birthdays around that time [ranging from my sister who's 23 (Nov. 25th) my other sister who's 6 (Oct. 20th) and my son's who are 6 and 7(Sept. 5th and 13th,)] started kindergarten at 4 years of age. Word to the wise, if your child isn't ready, keep him/her out a year. There's nothing wrong with starting a year late. In the long run it does so much good. My first 4-year-old was 4 going on 21- he was ready, the second was 4 going on 4-and-a-half, he wasn't ready. He hated every day he went to school and after a month I pulled him out. I met this with high approval from his teacher, the principal, his grandmother (who is a teacher), and his pediatrician. He's graduating from kindergarten in a few weeks reading, writing and happy :o)

Answer 5

Check with the school district. It varies. My son birthday is in November and he turned 6 in Kindergarten. My other son is three and I hope that he can go to kindergarten when he is 4. His birthday is in October. He will be turning 5 in Kindergarten. It all depends if the child is ready too. Ask the headstart(if the child attends) and the school you want them to go to. Good luck

Answer 6

Definately 4!! Children need to learn at an early age. The longer you keep them at home, the further behind they may become. I have 3 children who were born after 31 August which have meant they have started school when they were nearly 5. I only wish that they started earlier as they were capeable of doing so , it was just that they were not allowed.

Answer 7

Different school have different laws for cut-offs. My school has the September 1st cut-off. My son actually started 4 year old kindergarten when he was still 3 because his birthday is at the very end of August and school started early that year. Check out your district.

Answer 8

I would recommend waiting until five. I'm an assistant principal in a primary school, and there is a big difference between the social skills and abilities of a four and five year old. You might feel like pushing your child into school because it's available, but most kids are more successful if they wait.

Answer 9

Every district has there own rules. My birthday is in early December, and I started when I was 4 because I was ready to start according to their testing. It was tough being the 'baby' of the group when I got older though.

Answer 10

Definately let your child be 5 and give him or her the advantage of being the oldest rather than the disadvantage of being the youngest. I teach 3rd grade and it is clear and evident who my youngest children (especially boys) are without asking or knowing their ages. Do him/ her a favor and wait until 5.
