I can't seem to find the definition anywhere, but is a child that attends a Preschool and is bussed back and forth considered "school age" by your state's definition?
What Is Your State's Definition Of School Age?

No. Going to preschool doesn't make a child school age.
My state considers a child school age 4 months prior to actual Kindergarten attendance/eligibility.
But that will be changing to age 5. period. Whether in school or not.
What state are you in?- Flag

My license lady told me the other day when the school year ends around end of May, then the ones going to kindergarten in August are considered school-age in TN. BUT my previous license lady would let me consider children school age when they registered for kindergarten which happens in April of the previous year..... :confused:- Flag

hmmmm I am in MA but I'm double guessing now
I'm pretty sure it's kindergarten, however since kindergarten is not required in MA I'm wondering if it's when they start elementary school. So if they start in K they are school age, but if they don't go to K then it's when they start 1st grade?
I'm going to ask my licensor because now I'm curious ::
I know it is definitely not preschool unfortunately- Flag

We can have 10 total. OF those 10, we can only have:
6 under 6
2 under 2
(or all 10 can be 6 and older if you want, but the ages above are restricted to those amounts.)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I've always been under the impression that it read. I've never been in a situation where the numbers mattered, so I haven't paid much attention.- Flag

I'm in MA, and my licensor told me "5 and enrolled in kindergarten." I only realized last year that that means "going to kindergarten this fall" counts in the summer time. It also means my 5-year-old daughter will never be "school-aged," since she'll be homeschooled. They say I need to count her in my preschool numbers all along. Stupid!- Flag

Stupid!SO GLAD I don't have to be licensed. And my state says my own kids only count until they are six.
Hee hee! Look, I have a signature!- Flag
