Are there buzz words or catch phrases to use? Meg
It's always good to have a few quick phrases to repeat when it's time to reveal the 'why' you want early enterance to let know your child's approximate academic level with regards to -
-what is the child reading?
-can child tell time on an analog clock 'to the hour, quarter-hour, or the minute'
-able to skip count by 5s and 10s
-enjoys playing with older kids, particularly checkers and legos.
Or whatever is true at your house- but try to keep it just that brief.
It might help to visit a local kindy classroom to see what the kids actually are doing this late in the year.
Another thing to consider is if you think you child would be happier attending kindy this year and skipping into 2nd from there. Especially if the kindy program is 'half-day' some kids like it better that way.
