What is a bridge K class? This is a good question. The challenge for every parent is to enroll their child at the right time in the right school. With different cut off dates in both public and private schools the idea of a bridge K came about in a number of schools. You can look at GreatSChools and the California Association of Independent Schools for which schools offer a bridge K program. The more important questions is what grade your child should enter in the fall. Know your child and his/her developmental age in: language, gross and fine motor skills, social and cognitive aptitudes. Also, be aware of your own cultural and academic objectives for him/her. Your child's chronological age is relevant but so is their developmental age. Hopefully they are overall in synch. Should you need further assistance in determining your child's readiness for school, let me know. I am an Admissions Consultant in the East Bay.
