We sent our dd4 early to K this year and so far it has been pretty good. I was pretty 'for' it based on how she was doing in general, at home and at school, her generally outgoing nature, etc. I thought she'd be bored to tears if we waited.
I did end up getting testing done to assuage the concerns of the staff however, I think they felt better with a more firm leg to stand on and point to as a reason for the move up. I also did not mind seeing the results, although taken so young I know these numbers can move around (I don't expect to find out she's not gifted however, that is clear to just about anybody who meets her...or should I say gets run over by her fast moving train...)
Anyhow, it is going well so far, she is learning lots but not feeling overwhelmed, or too bored, so really a good spot for her. She did not read much going in and is doing well with that, which I believe is just right for kindergarten. I will continue to consider the right/wrong-ness of this skip probably every single year, every time she has a hard time with anything, now that I think about it!!
