Is my son ready for big school 14/11/2019 14:21 - Pre-school / Montessori (Locality: Dublin South) ----------------------------------- My son is 4 in March and is currently in his first year of the ECCE Scheme, which he loves. I have him pre enrolled for a few National schools for September 2020 but am now unsure if he´ll be too young or just not ready. He´s very clingy, total mummy´s boy and his speech is a bit behind but he has come on so much since he´s started preschool. Thanks for your help.
re : Is my son ready for big school 28/01/2020 14:50 - Pre-school / Montessori ----------------------------------- I would wait until he is 5.5 and I think he would be a good average age in his class. You could ask the schools where would he be placed based on the average age of the class and if he was the youngest i would wait another year. I have a similar dilemma but my boys birthday is November so do I send him in September 2020 at 4yrs10 months or wait until September 2021
