Why enrollment age needs a target date
Schools often use a fixed cutoff date. A child’s age today may not be the age that matters for enrollment eligibility.
What date to use
Use the official enrollment date or cutoff date from the school, district, or program rules.
What this page does not decide
The calculator gives age on the date. It does not determine eligibility rules, because those rules vary by location and program.
Quick tips
- Use the exact cutoff date from the school.
- Check local rules before making decisions.
- Save the calculated age with the original DOB and target date.
