Introduction Funbikerchick
Any child who has reached the age of 3 by January 1 of the current year is a Sunbeam, so this should be his first year. He should have started yesterday. Nursery goes from 18 months until 3, but if you turn 3 after January 1 you stay in nursery until the next year. In nursery you start whenever you turn 18 months, but then from that point on each class goes from January to January. The age you are at January 1 is always what decides which class (until Priesthood) so, when he turns 4 in April, he would stay a Sunbeam. Then in January he would move up to the next class which would be 4 year old CTRs because as of that January 1 date he would still be 4. Does that make sense?
In Trini do you have enough kids that each age has their own class or are all kids from 4 to seven in the same classroom? That seems like a big age difference from 4 to 7 to have them all in the same class. Here, we have different classes for each age even though they are all still CTRs. In my ward we actually have several Sunbeam classes because we have so many kids and they want to keep the classes small. Last year there were 3 Sunbeam classes. I am not sure if there are 3 now or a different number, but it is more than 1 anyway.
