Right now she is in younger 3s. You would want to sign her up for older 3s for next year. There are very few schools that will accept an oldest child with a December birthday —I personally don’t know of any at all but of course I don’t know all schools —so if you do decide to send to 4 year olds keep in mind she will likely be repeating 4 year olds, which can be harder on the kids than going from younger 3 to older 3.


They won’t necessarily allow her to join older 3s. They are all so picky about birthdays and ages.

Some morahs are very chilled. But there are also younger 4 groups and most kids in those groups will end up repeating

Thanks for clarifying.
Sounds like it’s definitely something I’ll need her Morah’s input on; to hear how she’s currently doing as the youngest in the group, and how other kids she’s seen in this situation ended up.

Which girls schools have kindergartens?
Bais Tova, Nachlas, any others that I’m missing?
Do girls schools with kindergartens have transportation?

Nachlas and bais tova kindergarten is officially only for siblings only 1 or 2 classes. Not sure about transportation. Bnos bracha, meoros, neemas, tcs, meoros and I think chein bais Yaakov all have kindergarten.

Schools really don’t take oldest girls for primary if they’ll be turning 5 in December. They will tell you to wait a year. Unless you have an in with a school in town and they agree to take.


Wow I didn't know this. My DD had a classmate who was an oldest and birthday in December (I know her mother well, she was my classmate Smile ). I wonder if this is a "newer" thing (my DD is in her 20's BAH).

If they won't take a December girl into primary, that means they have essentially moved the dateline, so to speak, back a month.

Many schools have a 5 before December 1 deadline
