From Wikipedia:
Kindergarten (German, literally means “children’s garden”) is a form of education for young children which serves as a transition from home to the commencement of more formal schooling. Children are taught to develop basic skills through creative play and social interaction. In most countries kindergarten is part of the preschool system. In parts of the United States, Canada and Australia (NSW, TAS and the ACT) kindergarten is the word used to describe the first year of compulsory education. In British English, nursery, playgroup or Reception is the usual term for preschool education, and “kindergarten” is rarely used. Children usually attend kindergarten any time between the ages of three and seven depending on the local custom.
