What is "pre-kindergarten"?

Pre-kindergarten is an early childhood education program designed for children, typically around 4 years old, before they enter kindergarten. It focuses on building social, emotional, and academic skills to prepare children for the more structured environment of kindergarten. Pre-kindergarten programs help children develop basic skills in literacy, numeracy, and communication through play-based learning and hands-on activities. The aim is to provide a smooth transition into formal education by fostering curiosity, creativity, and foundational learning skills. These programs are commonly offered in schools, daycare centers, and community organizations.
