DS was early entranced mid-year to a private K at 4 yrs 2 mos. Unfortunately, we didn't realize that the K teacher was against the idea. She actively excluded DS from being part of the class.
DS started public K at 4 yrs. 9 mos. This was not an official early entrance since he made the cutoff by 2 weeks. Still, he was the youngest K student out of 120 at the school. He did very well, we never had any behavior issues.
I think having been to the private K helped him and also DS seems to have a lot of self-control for his age. He is also a teacher pleaser. He hasn't needed a nap since he was 2, so tiredness wasn't an issue for him. We had no separation issues in the public K. There were some in the private K, but I think that was due to the unwelcoming situation.
