Re: Transition from Reception to KG

With a December birthday, she won't go to Kindergarten in NJ until 2024. It varies state to state (my October born child started Kindergarten when she was 4 as December is the cutoff in NY).

Re: Medical Insurance US for UK visitors

We used All Clear for my father a few years ago. Fortunately we didn't have a claim so I can't vouch for how good they are. https://www.allcleartravel.co.uk/seniors/
