All studies done on radical grade acceleration show that that great majority of students are better served, happier, and have better attitudes about their education than extremely gifted children who are not.
"More" first-grade level work is pointless for a child working at a sixth-grade level. Your approach is, again, contrary to what research recommends.
Most public schools won't admit students early because they often don't get funding for below-age students.
Get her involved in a homeschooling play group. My two-year-old has a BLAST with a mixed age group that ranges from infants to 16, and he does much better than with kids near his age, who frustrate him because they don't know how to play cooperatively yet and have such a short attention span.
