My 4 year old is in Kindergarten, no school until he's 6...

And now here in California, they are starting "Transitional Kindergarten" or TK for the 4 year olds, before they go to Kindergarten at five. (More focus on reading and writing than a typical Preschool.) TK is offered at the normal public schools, and at most private schools that have K and up.
