Kindergarten 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,

kindergarten is the word used to describe the first year of compulsory education. In

Britain English, nursery or playgroup 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

Children attend kindergarten to learn to communicate, play, and interact with others

appropriately. A teacher provides various materials and activities to motivate these

children to learn the language and vocabulary of reading, mathematics, science, and

computers, as well as that of music, art, and social behaviors. For children who

previously have spent most of their time at home, kindergarten may serve the purpose of

training them to be apart from their parents without anxiety. They are usually exposed to

their first idea of friendship while they play and interact with other children on a regular

basis. Kindergarten may also allow mothers, fathers, or other caregivers to go back to

part-time or full-time employment.
