Wow, your daughter sounds so much like my own! I could have written that exact same post last year. It is a tough decision. I would agree with the other posters that you should take a look at the kindergarten you are thinking of. If she is already doing first grade level work, kindergarten may have little to offer her. We decided to keep our daughter for another year of pre-school - let her play there 2 or 3 mornings per week, and we are homeschooling her (a bit) for academics. It is working out well for us and I am happy we made that decision. The nice thing is that she still gets to "play" (arts and crafts etc.) with kids her own age and can also learn at home. I will say that this will make putting her in a regular kindergarten next year all but impossible, so we will either homeschool her or send her to a special school.
