We did PreK and then straight to 1st. My DDs Bday is Oct as well.
From an emotional/social point of view it was awesome. Academically, it worked out. Since they were both fluent readers before PreK--- going to K and getting differentiation was going to be a challenge anyway.
They are now in 3rd/ young for grade and doing fine. Academically school is not much of a challenge at this point and they get 'challenge' material for math (one DD), spelling (both) , and reading (but not happening there) . Socially, they are young and absolutely act their actual age vs average peer age.
