T.O.
Where I taught if you didn't meet the age requirement there was no possibilty of getting in...no exceptions. This was a public school. I believe at all public schools this is the case. You may be able to get her into a Kindergarten program at a Montessori or Daycare facility, BUT you need to make sure it is accredited by the state...if it is not they may make you repeat Kindergarten at their school. (This happened to a child where I taught. I'm not exactly sure of the details, but I don't quite understand how it happened since Kindergarten isn't a mandatory grade/requirement for 1st grade.)
