My 4 year old is in Pre-K. She is the youngest in her grade too.
I have consistently had preschool and Sunday school teachers tell me for the past 2 years how mature she is in class. She shows other signs of intellectual maturity or "giftedness" such as awareness, memory, and attention to detail.
She also gets bored very easily, asks for me to give her homework, and asks to go to school more.
Is this a phase most Pre-K kids go through?
Since she can't start Kindergarten until next year what kind of things can I do to give her more education that she seems to be craving?
Likewise, what kind of schooling should I be looking into for her to excel once she is in school?
Both her father and I are tested/considered "highly intelligent", so it is probable that she may also be. Therefore we want to be sure we are educating her adequately.
