I feel a bit awkward asking this, I feel a bit presumptuous, but I need help with this.

Dd1 is 3.5. She walked alone by 10 months, first word at 9 months sentences by 13months etc. She Misses out on preschool next year because of the intake date. It's cut off is May 1, she was born May 31.

She is incredibly switched on, can count and recognise numbers, is self teaching herself to write. Crazy good memory, like will tell me when driving whose house we are near by etc.

I've been looking at early intake for preschool/kindy for her but they have to be recognised as a "gifted child". I feel like I am being a bit presumptuous getting her assessed? It's not like she is reciting quadratic equations or anything but she relates better with kids a couple years older. I have been reading on the signs of gifted children and she meets about 90% of the signs.

Has anyone else had this? How do you get an assessment? I just don't want to sound like one of those mums who is "my child is sooo smart, look at me" (if that even makes sense). I also don't want her being bored all next year when she seems really ready for kindy.

Help! Sorry if I sound like a dill!
