What is the minimum age for admittance to kindergarten in California? A child shall be admitted to a kindergarten maintained by the school district at the beginning of a school year, or at a later time in the same year if the child will have his or her fifth birthday on or before September 1 (EC 48000[a]): 2. What is transitional kindergarten?
If you are not in need of child care, I would not recommend putting them in any earlier than age 3. And even at age 3, only 2-3 days a week. Work up to the 5 days by the time they are pre-k (the year before K). No preschool is free in California unless you are on government assistance. I hope this answers your question.
