Don't they do kindergarten screening in your area?
Here, once a child hits the age of 4/5 the schools have the child come in and in essense check out all they know. Gross and fine motor skills are tested, where they're at socially, what they know academically (ABC, 123's etc).
From there the evaluators let you know if the child will likely do just fine starting K that year or if there are some things that could be worked on before that's considered.
I believe all kiddos have to have and pass the screening to join a mainstream K class.
I'd check if your area has something similar. They'll have a pretty good idea of if your child will be ready, what will be expected once they start as well as where other kids are at in comparison and you can make a more informed decision based on all that.
