Kindergarten. Those would be 5 year olds. Some go to preschool first, usually at the age of 4.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
