More kindergarten FAQs

My child is age-eligible for kindergarten but already attended kindergarten at a private school in California. Can they be placed in first grade?

No. A child who was not age-eligible for kindergarten and who attended a California private school kindergarten for a year is viewed by the CDE as not legally enrolled in kindergarten, pursuant to EC Section 48000 requirements.

We moved from out of state and my child attended a public school kindergarten based on the state’s requirements. Can my child be enrolled in first grade even though they do not meet the age-eligibility requirements?

Yes. A child who was legally enrolled in an out-of-state public kindergarten for one school year (using that state's requirements), but who does not meet California age eligibility for first grade, may, with parental consent, be enrolled by the district in first grade (EC Section 48011).
