We had wanted to do the same thing with our 5 year old. He is supposed to go into K next year and as a K teacher in the state, I know that he is well past any of the K curriculum - he is well into 2nd grade for reading and in some cases 3rd grade for math...so sitting around doing circle time while singing the ABC song won't cut the cheese with him :-) We found out in Florida, since K is not mandatory that they do not allow early entrance or skipping of Kindergarten. I have heard of a few cases where a child was allowed to attend K for a few weeks and then was "skipped" up to a TK-1 class which would still make her move on only to first grade the following year with the possibility of skipping at that point. So we have decided to opt out of the public schools for next year and stay with our Montessori school so that he can continue with that curriculum. I wish you lots of luck!
