For kindergarten, the child must have passed the fifth anniversary of birth by October 16 or the sixth anniversary by October 16 for first grade entry. Enrollment of five year old children in kindergarten is optional but advisable to foster success in school. In special cases, a precocious child born as early as April 16 may be admitted to kindergarten if the child meets several criteria. This method limits the class size to about 5 children per day for the first 4 days.
Teachers give each child individual attention and a relaxed orientation to school.

This way, the first step for your child is an easy step. You will probably be surprised how easily your child will accept the new school surroundings.
