When should I send My Child To School?

Children typically start primary school (Kindergarten) in Australia when they are 5 or 6 years old. Legally a child in Australia is required to be enrolled in school by the year that they have their 6th birthday. This is the latest that they can enrol in school. Some parents enrol their children in school when they are 4 years of age. According to teachers, researchers and myself, the most important element of school readiness is emotional regulation and ability to understand and cope with the school routine. Education and knowledge such as knowing letters, numbers, maths is less important. They key areas to start school are; Sharing a space with peers Using a bathroom Asking for help Turn-taking and engaging with teachers and peers Following instructions in a group Boys typically develop social and emotional skills later and therefore as a general guide a lot of childcare and preschools may suggest “holding back” if there are the means to do so for that family. This is not a black and white recommendation and every situation and individual needs to be considered on a case by case circumstance. Talk to your educator or preschool director about how your child is progressing for a school start for the following year.
