I don't think early entrance would have worked for my DD. To make it an academic fit, she would had to go from preK to 3/4/5 grade, depending on the subject matter with writing skills that are still developing.
Her K/1 program is play-based and child-centered. The irony of spending a little fortune on her tuition for her to not learn anything academic is not lost on us. Come second grade, when she is 7, school will administer a comprehensive academic evaluation and develop an individual academic plan for her.
We're still very uncomfortable with the whole idea of her being at this school but she seems happy and for now, if she is happy, so are we.
