Dd will be 4.5 next year in jan, as her b'day is jun 15. She will be one of the youngest. I am still a bit torn as to whether we should send her. She is a bright happy little bubble of a kid. Fearless and charming, she is also naively sweet. She doesn't know about being mean really, and she isn't used to defending against it, although she is getting some experience from her cousins ;0 she has been to daycare a couple of days a week since she was 2. Although the last 6+ months it has been only once a week, as we moved further away from her amazing daycare and we couldn't get her into the local Kindy.

I think academically she will be fine, but not sure what she needs to have to be ok socially and emotionally at school. Her daycare teachers tell me emphatically that she is ready. She is confident and they think she will be super bored if I don't send her. I hope they are right. But how do I know if they are? My sister thinks she is to sensitive. But I am not sure if that isn't just cos her little girls are just a bit tougher. They kinda gang up on her a bit and that is what my so that is what she sees I think.

Anyway, hit me with your knowledge and experience please ladies.
