School districts can now choose to admit children who are younger than five to kindergarten if they turn five between September 1 and December 1 of that school year and can demonstrate they have the cognitive and social skills needed for kindergarten. Districts that adopt this policy must document their process for evaluating these younger children's readiness. If a child's home school district doesn't allow early admission, the child's parent can apply to enroll in a different school district that does.
