What is "kindergarten"?
Kindergarten is a formal educational program for young children, usually around 5 years old, that serves as the first year of primary education. It focuses on early learning skills such as reading, writing, math, and social development, preparing children for the elementary school years. Kindergarten programs are designed to promote cognitive, physical, and emotional growth through structured activities like games, arts, and group work. In many countries, kindergarten is part of the compulsory education system, offering a structured yet playful environment that helps children adjust to a more formal school setting.
