Advice for my stuttering 4 year old

Advice for my stuttering 4 year old My daughter started stuttering about 10 months ago. She’s about to turn 5 and can potentially start kindergarten this next school year. At this point her stuttering is the worst it’s ever been. There’s either a block or repetition every sentence she speaks sometimes multiple in a sentence. She’s in preschool twice a week and struggles to make friends there. I’m struggling on deciding to wait another year to send her to kindergarten , (maybe her stuttering will start toimprove by then as well as her social skills and confidence) or just bite the bullet and send her this coming year. She is on the younger end of the kids for the year (mid April birthday June 1st cut off) so she wouldn’t be much older if we wait. But I also don’t want her to feel like she did something wrong or I think she’s not smart enough for kindergarten yet. For those of you that stuttered young, would you have wanted more time in preschool/therapy before going to elementary school full time or was what you experienced fine? I just want to make her school experience as comfortable as possible, I can see her struggling now.
