I think at this point the main concern for kindy is that she meet some kids, and has a little challenge while there. She's friendly, not at all shy and once kids get used to her she is well liked, but in a big group where she is quite different I think it's too hard for her, she's best one on one, or where the mums have fostered the friendship. This is my concern going into school, I don't want her missing out on learning those social cues, if she likes the look of the Montessori we'll prob go with that because of the mixed ages and they only have 20 kids there.
As for school, we are very lucky to be zoned in our cities best area for gifted public schools, we can choose from a very small low economic school that allows kids to go to one day school (gifted program) or a bigger higher socio economic school that brings in extra teachers/support staff to teach kids at different levels, so the kids accelerate within the class without having to grade skip. They also allow one day school if needed to. We can also bus to the private child led learning school although its a 40 minute drive away. So not stressed about primary school yet, just making sure we take the right steps to have a good start.
Incidentally, just got home from session 1 of testing, EP has said she is doing great so that's nice!
