Preschool - 9 Answers

1 :
Kindergarten. Those would be 5 year olds. Some go to preschool first, usually at the age of 4.
2 :
My son was 2 when he started preschool. My older kids started kindergarten at 5, however you dont have to put them in Kindergarten if you choose not to, but they do have to enroll in the 1st grade. If you start your child in kindergarten, you cant take them out. it also varies if the child is homeschooled
3 :
It depends on their age. My son won't be 5 until February, so he missed the "December 5" age 5 birthday to get into school this year..... so I guess to answer your question, they start kinder at 4 or 5 depending on when their birthday falls.
4 :
In my family, children start school around the age of 4 years old. However, there are 'Mother and Me' type classes that I took with my mom when I was around the age of 2 or 3. The 'Mother and Me' classes were really not much more than simple arts and crafts along with really small amounts of actual education.
5 :
it all depends on when they were born
6 :
Kids do not have to go to school until they are 7. I would recommend that they start kindergarten and 5 or 6. Kindergarten has really changed, and preschool is like kindergarten when I was little. They need to be a little older to be able to handle the level of sitting and work they have to do.
7 :
Children need to be five to start kindergarten, but the date they need to be five differs by state (and in some cases by school district). Here are cutoff dates. Alabama - September 1 Alaska - August 15 Arizona - September 1 Arkansas - September 15 California - December 2 Colorado - Local Option Connecticut - January 1 Delaware - August 31 Florida - September 1 Georgia - September 1 Hawaii - August 1 Idaho - September 1 Illinois - September 1 Indiana - July 1 Iowa - September 15 Kansas - August 31 Kentucky - October 1 Louisiana - September 30 Maine - October 15 Maryland - September 1 Massachusetts - Local Option Michigan - December 1 Minnesota - September 1 Mississippi - September 1 Missouri - August 1* Montana - September 10 Nebraska - October 15 Nevada - September 30 New Hampshire - Local Option New Jersey - Local Option New Mexico - September 1 New York - Local Option North Carolina - October 16 North Dakota - September 1 Ohio - September 30 ** Oklahoma - September 1 Oregon - September 1 Pennsylvania - Local Option Rhode Island - September 1 South Carolina - September 1 South Dakota - September 1 Tennessee - September 30 Texas - September 1 Utah - September 2 Vermont - January 1 Virginia - September 30 Washington - August 31 West Virginia - September 1 Wisconsin - September 1 Wyoming - September 15 District of Columbia - December 31 *Metropolitan school districts in Missouri may establish a cut-off date between August 1 and October 1. **Ohio districts may choose a cut-off date of September 30 or August 1.
8 :
You have a few different answers. Here's mine: it depends on what state your asking about? I live in WA. state and a child entering kindergarten must be 5 years of age before August 31. If he turns 5 on September 3 sorry he will have to wait until next year to start. However if you feel your child is ready for kindergarten you can go before the school board and ask and than it is up to them. WA. state is changing the kindergarten classes from 1/2 day to full day. The change has already taken place in lots of cities. How do you feel about that change going from 3 1/2 hours to over 6 hours a day? I think it is to long of a day for a 5 to 6 year olds. Hmm I hope I have helped you on your search for answers.

What is a good makeup school in the USA? (More inside)
What is a good makeup school in the USA? (More inside)?
I am attending Cosmo School, and once school is over, I would like to attend a makeup school. (Model, runway, edgy) There was one in Burbank, CA I was looking at, and I was just curious if any of you, knew of any, or had attended some.

MUD is a good school, but a little expensive; same with Joe Blasco. There's Studio Makeup Academy that's cheaper and for a shorter amount of time and it's located on a film studio (Gower Studios) and I think there's one in Costa Mesa called Cosmix or something along those lines that's supposed to be good. They're all good choices, so I suggest going to individual schools for a tour and see which one suits you best. Good luck!

How long do School summer holidays last in USA
How long do School summer holidays last in USA?
When start and when end?
Polls & Surveys - 11 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
it's different for a lot of people but for me end- june 10, start aug 25
2 :
start in early june, end in late august
3 :
it's different times in different parts of the United States mind is usually from the last week of May to the beginning of August roughly 3 months, which went by too fast
4 :
mid june till early september
5 :
mostly the end of may to the middle of august but they are always around 3 months
6 :
Like, three months. I get out on June 2? 3? usually, and I go back on September 13, usually.But this year we have a long summer, so it's all good! :]
7 :
They start January and go till December. A short summer really.
8 :
I'm a exchange student here, and it just started yesterday. (Today was the second day.) I was told we get off in may 29.
9 :
roughly 11 weeks
10 :
its about 3 months. for me it was June 9th---August 26th
11 :
Where I live on the East Coast of the USA, my daughter's last day of school for the school year is ALWAYS the last Friday in June & the 1st day of school is ALWAYS 2 days after Labor Day, the U.S. holiday, which is the 1st Monday in September, which would be the Wednesday after the 1st Monday in September, which this year isn't until September 9th. So she ALWAYS gets 2 months off school for Summer vacation. And it's been that way since I was in school & I'm 36. The states that get 3 months off mostly don't get any days off during the school year. Only when I was in College did I get 3 months off - I ended at the end of May & didn't start until the end of August. But, to me, Summer is June through August & if I was a kid, I'd HATE to go back to school before Labor Day, or even the day after!

33 :
Are you referring to high school, college, middle school or elementary? Traditional schools do start the day after labor day for elementary but do vary some and sometimes start the week before. Colleges start in late august and high schools start in Aug/Sept. If you want to know when your school starts check to see if they have a website or call the school. Hope this helps. :-)
34 :
Each state gets to make that decision. In Virginia it starts the day after Labor Day. They've tried to make it earlier but because Virginia relies so much on tourism, they have to have all the students who work at the beaches, Busch Gardens, etc. be available for that last big weekend of the season.
35 :
end of Aug and begining of september.... it matters where you live.
36 :
Depends on the school district.
37 :
Depends on the state. Up north it's usually after labor down. In the south it's usually the 1st or 2nd week of August.
38 :
generally early September, but some schools start in mid august, and some in late September.
39 :
depends on the town....last year and many years before that it was the end of August once on my birthday...yuck... but they are finally realizing again it is stupid to start before labor day...so it's Sept 5 this year
40 :
it depends on where you live. most of the southern schools start anywhere in august, but most of the northern schools go back the beginning of september. i go back on the 7th of september, but my best friend (who lives in north carolina) should be back in school before the month is over!!!
41 :
when the dead assed public school teachers get done with their three month paid vacation full time pay and benefits--part time work..as soon as they get back they'll start taking their paid vacation days off and sick days and start crying that they are underpaid and overworked and need smaller class sizes and new school and more $$$$ and more benefits. If their democratic buddes don't give it to them like they usually do, then they go on an illegal strike and hold our kids educations as hostage. I say do what Regan did to the air traffic controllers and FIRE ALL PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS AND HIRE NEW NON UNION TEACHERS.
