Answer 4

Traditionally the when the public schools offer a preK program that is only normal peers it is for 4 year olds.  If it is a special education class that uses "normal" peers then they will be 3-4 years old.  Good luck!

You  may want to check your local pre-k programs. My daughter started pre-K when she was 3.

The average pre-K program starts them off at age 4.

This site might help you determine which school is closest to you and then you can go to that schools website. I would enter the name of the school, city, state into www.google.com to see if they do have a website for the school.

In our area, if your child will already be 4 years old by the time the Fall pre-k classes start they can attend the pre-school. If a child has a late fall or winter birthday and are still 3 years old when Fall classes start, they have to wait until next year for pre-k.

Hope this helps!

Answer 12

Pre-3 :3 years old

Pre-K:4 years old

Answer 13

depends on the maturity of the child. the common age is 4 but some children are ready at 3.. most school will evaluate the child and tell you if they are ready.
