Hi shellymos - I think our son's are similar ages (mine turns 5 in january and will start kindy next year too). I am going through another worrying phase, but i'm trying to stay optimistic. Our school district does have a gifted coordinator, and we are making plans to meet with her now, to give the heads up and to get help with teacher selection. Does your state have a gifted section in the dept of education? If yes, you can call there and they usually give you good advice about who to talk to at a school and when. Also, they might have the Iowa Acceleration Scale for you to borrow and use with the school for help in placement. Some schools around here start assigning kindergarten teachers in March, so we want to be in the loop before then.
As for workbooks, DS liked those a couple of years ago, but he's really not too interested. We have a couple singapore math books he likes every once in awhile, but mostly he just likes his books and legos and video games and playgrounds. We try to answer all his questions, but we're not doing anything formal for education either. I have given up on worrying about not teaching him anything - he's going to learn anyway, and i don't want him to think I don't know the answer or don't know where to look for them!
