When to start Kindergarten

Hi there...
I've recently been granted the sahm title...again, after working for 2 years. I was home with my first dd Hailey until she was 18 months old, and I'm now home with her and her 22 month old sister Emma. It's CRAZY sometimes, but I'm loving it...

My questions is about Hailey and Kindergarten...she'll be 4 next week, and I'm just not sure when she should start...i assume I should already know this...but alas, I'm lost...any help would be appreciated.
Thanks so much

We are homeschoolers so I began kindergarten with my older

Are you a M.O.M-Mom of Many? Find other M.O.M's

Hi! I think it depends where you live. Some states the cut off for turning 5 is September 1st, other places the cut off is December 31st. Check with the school your daughter would attend to be sure.

In GA, you can be age 5 or 6 starting kindergarten.
If you are not 5 by a certain date in August, you must wait till the following year.

Where I live the child has to be 5 in August when school starts. My dd has a birthday in January so she would have been 5.5 when she started kindergarten. She is a different situation but we started homeschooling her kindergarten at 4.
