This is a great resource for preschool age children. My frustration comes with the March 1st cut off. Why is the date so drastically different from the school systems Kindergarten cut off of Sept. 10? My son will make the cut off for kindergarten in 2 years and is ready for preschool so why is the left out of the opportunity to be ready for kindergarten just because he has a late birthday? I have heard that kids with late birthdays are at a disadvantage because they are so much younger when they start school, so why make it harder on them by not letting them go to preschool for 2 years like the kids who’s birthday’s happen to make your cutoff.
