Hi Danielle,
From what I have heard, the best time to have a child tested is between four and eight years old, simply because any earlier the child is still a little too young to be predictable. Of course I'm not an expert, but this is simply something I've read about gifted children.
Here is a terrific article that may help you out as well:
