2018 (a few weeks after she turns 5).
-
2017! She starts preschool this year and will go next year as well.
-
Dd1 will start in 2017 when she's 3 years, 3 months.
DD2 will start in 2019 when she's 5 years, 10 months.
DD3 is a September baby, so she will either start in 2020 or 2021. We aren't sure.
-
2018, a few weeks before he turns 6...
-
We're still trying to figure that out. Both boys will have birthdays after the official cutoff of September 1, but we can start them at 4 if we put them in private kindergarten to start. I'm torn on what to do.
-
my kids are 20 months apart but will be 1 year apart in school! so dd will start in 2018 at 5yr 9m and ds will start 2019 at 5yr 0m
-
DD1 will go in 2017 at 4y8m
DD2 will go in 2018 at 3y9m
DD3 will go in 2020 at 4y8mEven though 1&2 are two years apart they'll be one year apart in school. And 2&3 will be a year apart but two years apart at school. My girls span the cutoff.
-
DD was born in Dec '14 but she isn't cut off for our school district so she will go in '19.
-
Not till 2018!!! Yikes that seems soooo far away. My son will miss the cut off (Sep 1) so he will be almost 6 when he starts. Same will happen for my next LO who will likely be born around Sep 20th, so he will be even older!
-
@Mrs Green Grass: @2PeasinaPod: same!
-
LO1 will start in 2017 when she's a little over 5 years old. LO2 will be just under 6 in 2021 when she starts since I'm due in October.
-
Hopefully 2018 but her birthday is 9/26/13 so she's about a month shy of the 9/1 cut off... hoping to appeal/test in
-
2016
She'll be 3 yrs 9 months.
-
2018, a few weeks after she turns 6. Kinder here in Sweden starts at age 6.
-
Fall 2017, he'll be 5 years, 5 months
@tinyperson: kindergarten at 3??! Did you mean 5?
-
DS - 2014 he was 3 weeks away from turning 6
DD - 2016 she will be 5 1/2 yrs old
-
@oliviaoblivia: @tinyperson: kids can start kindergarten at 3 years old!?!?
-
I'm hoping dd will start in 2017. She will turn 5 on sept 1
-
@Mrs. Pen: @yellowbird: we have full day junior kindergarten in Toronto.
-
@oliviaoblivia: do they go straight to first grade after?
-
@yellowbird: no, senior kindergarten and then on to first grade.
-
Our state cut-off is Sept 1 but school actually starts closer to Aug 1 (which makes no sense to me). So LO will start at 4 years 11 months if the law stays the same. I think they're talking about moving the cut-off date back to August or even mid-June... Anything less than 5 seems so young!
-
@oliviaoblivia: I was wondering if you would have three grades in a row!
I'm in Ontario too, so 2018 at 4 years 6 months.
Junior Kindergarten starts here (full day) the year the kid turns 4. -
2019. She will miss the cutoff by 6 days, so she will be nearly six years old when she starts kinder.
-
2017. He will be almost 5.5.
-
@Mrs. Champagne: We miss it by 15 days.
-
DD started 2013. DS will start 2017
-
Sept 1 cutoff here, though I can write in for Ds. We will assess when it's closer to that time, but ds1 will either be 4y9 months (2017) or 5y9 (2018) months depending on when we decide to start him in Kindergarten.
Ds2 will be 5y2m. (2020)
-
2018!
@hellobeeboston: yep, same with both LOs! I was complaining about it to the preschool director (about poor planning on our part, having 2 kids in Oct/Nov right after the cutoff so both will require an extra year of daycare/preschool) and she said we are actually very lucky and that kindergarten is not the same as it once was, very tough for young kids and the later they can start the better!
-
I'm not sure! LO is an August baby, but I would like him to be on the older side of his class rather than younger so we'll see.
-
2019, when he's almost 6. He has a November birthday and the cut-off is August 31st.
LO2 will start the next year, 2020 because he's an early August baby.
I tried to plan it so they would be 2 grades apart in school, but I got pregnant a month before we were supposed to
-
2017 (age 5 years, 4 months - May bday)
2020 (age 5 years, 9 months - Dec bday)The cut off in our state is October 15 so this is how it will be unless we move.
-
Sept 2017 right after LO turns 5 yo.
-
DD1 is 2018, she will turn 6 in October, but here the cut off is July 15th.
2020 for DD2, so they will only be 2 years apart which i like.
-
@2PeasinaPod: We have the same issue. DS can wait until 2019 to start or we can have him go to private school kindergarten and start first grade in 2019. In the long run it's a slightly less expensive option, but in the short term it's more money than paying for daycare.
-
2019 - she'll be almost 6.
-
2019. He'll turn six right as school starts.
-
@NovBaby1112: oh good! This makes me feel better
thx
-
2020. Our school district's cutoff is 9/1 and his birthday is 9/3, so he'll turn 6 about a week after starting kindergarten.
She'll be 3 yrs 9 months.
thx
