For a child’s readiness for school is based not only on their age and intellectual readiness, but also on their physical, emotional and social maturity. No child will excel in all five areas.

If you have child in preschool, the teachers there can tell you if they think your child is ready for school. If you have a preschool aged child who is not in preschool, it is highly recommend it. It gets the child used to being left, being with other kids, learning, etc.
