DD was born 2 April 2009 and cut off here is 30 April. She has been at 4 yo kinder this year and is ready to start school next year. She will be 4 years 10 months when she starts and is likely to be one of the youngest if not the youngest. But she is ready. I have had a lot of discussions with various teachers that have met/observed her and all have said the same. Every child is different and you will know what is best for your child.

For what it is worth my DDs social skills went through a massive development around 3.5 years old.
